Kickdown's Take
by Louis KalendruschatThis 1954 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet W187 is one of the most elegant early postwar classics and is a true rarity today. Imported from the U.S., it displays a charming patina, yet the six-cylinder engine runs smoothly. The well-preserved original interior, in particular, exudes pure charm. Road-ready, registered, and with a valid safety inspection, this convertible offers enthusiasts an ideal foundation for restoration projects or pure driving pleasure in its current condition.
