This Information below is from Wikipedia...

The Mercedes-Benz W180 is a 6-cylinder sedan, coupé, and convertible made from 1954 to 1959. The models associated with the W180 chassis code were the 220a and 220S. The latter has often been identified as the first E-Class, though Mercedes-Benz did not officially adopt the E-Class nameplate for its midsize line until 1984.

The W180 was one in a series of Mercedes-Benz models to informally receive the "Ponton" nickname. This was in reference to the unibody-type, pontoon-shaped exterior styling which was also featured on the later W128 line.



The 220a was succeeded in March 1956 by the 220S, which was externally almost identical, but had an upgraded version of the 2.2L inline-six (100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp), later 106 PS (78 kW; 105 hp)), due to the use of twin-carburettors.

Visually, the 220S featured a new one piece front bumper, instead of the 3-piece bumper used on the 220a. Also, the twin chrome and rubber strips running under the doors of the 220a were replaced with solid chrome strips. The most obvious difference is the addition of a chrome strip running along the front fenders and doors of the 220S.

The 220S was available with a 4-speed column shift manual transmission, with an optional Hydrak automatic clutch. This made use of small microswitches on the gear selector that automatically disengaged the clutch when the driver changed gears. Many cars have subsequently been converted to use a standard clutch, due to the high maintenece costs of continuing to use the Hydrak clutch.

Also introduced with the 220S was the W105 219, which from the a-pillar forward was essentially a single-carburettor 220a, but rearward from the a-pillar it used the shorter body of the W120/W121 180/190 models Make sure and check out my other videos I always have all sorts of unique Classic, EURO & Muscle cars and I sell them cheap.

Hey there..that's a wonderful example. These were extremely pretty with wonderful lines and just modest enough to have fun in. I own a 59' 220SE Ponton Convertible way over here in Malaysia. There were only 18 right hand models ever made so you can imagine how rare it is! Took us 6 years to restore and a couple of visits to Germany for spares and the tyres are from America!! Go figure! But a joy to drive and a wonderful cruiser.

This is the Ponton. W105.....sir, if I were you I'd keep this. There were just so many made....you may just have something very valuable on your hands. I think there are less the 30.000 made.

[CerealMarshmallows]

@bahtalorom WOW Thank You i looked that up and it does look alot more like the one i have there seems to be alot of extra trim on this car that i havent seen on alot of the others. Thank You for your comment. I LOVE Mercedes Benz and just couldent place the chassis on this one..;-) The other ones look close but the W105 is exactly what it is Thanks again...Cheers

You have a great car over there. You should keep it. It is hard to find one of that model in such a good condition.

This body style is commonly called Ponton, Google Mercedes Benz Ponton to find more info. The 220S was the top of the line besides the fuel injected 220SE. Looks like a nice original car!
