This is a very nice example of low production Mercedes Luxury Sedan of the early '50's. The current owners, "old car lovers" and hobbyist, purchased this restored, and well kept "Classic" from California. The body and the paint, as well as rebuilding the engine was done prior to their purchase and she looks quite nice at the "show anddrive" level. This is not a high-end showcarhowever, and even though several years have passed since the body and paint were done, there are no glaring defects in the paintwork. Although unfortunately, very few miles were driven during their ownership because of health issues, the decision was made to sell. A recent investment of close to $7,000 in mechanical maintenance and repairs (with receipts) has resulted in a smooth running, "turn key" Mercedes ready to enjoy. Overall, the cosmetic presentation is very good and would certainly be welcomed at the "casual" car shows.

The production of the W187 Sedan from 1951 to 1953 was a mere 16,154 according to known records and this one has a fairly low production number in the series at #7350. The 2.2 liter 6 cylinder with an enhanced horsepower (over its predecessor) rating of 80(!), was capable of taking the 220 Sedan passengers to close to 90 miles per hour. As a note for details of this example, the wood trim (not veneer) on the interior is in fine condition, and even the outside (between the front and rear doors) original turn indicators flip outward as they should! If you are searching for an unusual collectible investment in a comfortable "Classic" that you can enjoy with family and friends.... Check this one out!
