1963 Mercedes Benz 220SE For Sale

Design of a replacement for the two-door Pontons began in 1957. Since most of the chassis and drivetrain were to be unified with the sedan, the scope was focused on the exterior styling. Mercedes chose the work of engineer Paul Bracq, which featured a more squarish, subtle rear end treatment, more evocative of the later squarish styling of the subsequent W108/109 than the sharp-edged tail fins of the sedan. Production began in late 1960, with the coupe making its debut at the 75th anniversary at the Mercedes Benz museum in February 1961. The convertible followed at the Frankfurt Auto Show a few months later. Almost identical to the coupe, its soft-top roof folded into a recess behind the rear seat and was covered by a tightly fitting leather boot in the same color as the seats. Unlike the previous generation of two-door ponton series, the 220SE designation was used for both the coupe and convertible. All 220SE's were powered by a 2195 cc M127 engine.
