1952 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet

• black paint looks mirror-glossy and straight from every angle with wide whitewalls, no bodywork or repaint need is visible
• chrome grille, bumpers and hubcaps look bright and complete, including the rear 220 badge, so no chrome bill is visible
• red leather seats front and rear look fresh and uncreased with matching carpets, no retrim is needed on what is shown
• dash wood looks deep and glossy, gauges and radio look clean and complete, so the cabin wood needs no work visible
• the black soft top looks taut with red piping both raised and folded as a landau-style rear, so no top replacement is suggested
• engine bay looks clean and orderly in the one bay shot and the underside on a lift looks freshly painted black with a new-looking exhaust and no visible rust, so no underside work is visible
• the data plate reads type 220, Baujahr 1952, which matches the listing year, and the trunk holds fitted luggage and a spare, adding value rather than cost

Money: at $100,000 sold, the mirror paint, fresh red leather, clean bay and black, rust-free-looking underside all support the price - this one looked restored throughout, not just on top.
