History of the 1952 Mercedes-Benz W187 220:
The Mercedes-Benz W187 is a luxury car produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1951 to 1955. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in April 1951, the W187 was powered by a single overhead camshaft inline six-cylinder M180 engine and available as a saloon, coupe, and cabriolet, all designated with the 220 model name.
The styling was similar to that of the Mercedes-Benz 170S except that the 170's freestanding headlights were for the 220 integrated into the fenders for a slightly more modern look. Two different cabriolet models were built, conceived as exclusive sporting cars of exclusive character, but these only sold 1, 278 and 997 for the "A" (2-door, 2/ 3-seat) and "B" (2-door, 4-seat) versions, respectively. This car is the more expensive and collectible “A” model.
