With a history going back to Karl Benz’s 1886 “Patent-Motorwagen,” Mercedes-Benz has long been known for vehicles that push the limits of technology, performance and style. The company was named for Mercedes Jellinek, daughter of company marketing strategist Emil Jellinek. He promoted the sale of Daimler-Benz vehicles through Europe and eventually America. In 1958, distribution was handled in the U.S. by a partnership with Studebaker, which ended when the South Bend, Indiana-based company went out of business in 1966.
Through the years, the company became known for advances in technological and mechanical innovations. These included traction control systems, anti-lock braking systems, pre-tensioning seatbelts and airbags, which were first introduced to the European market in 1981.
The late, great Janis Joplin once sang, “Oh, Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.” The time is now, right here at Hemmings.com.
1960 Mercedes-Benz 220SE
This beautiful example of a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 220SE “Ponton” Cabriolet shows a California car with many years of cruising left in her. Located in Astoria, NY, it was originally black but currently wears what the owner describes as “nice red paint” over a tan leather interior with black soft-top convertible roof. The chrome shows nicely, as does the overall condition, which was restored several years ago. The engine is a Bosch fuel-injected 2.2-liter inline six-cylinder delivering 115 hp. It features a column-mounted four-speed manual transmission. According to the seller, when production ended in 1960, fewer than 2,000 examples of the Coupé and Cabriolet models were made. Here’s your chance to buy a rare bird today.
1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
This Miami-based beauty is the perfect cabriolet for top-down touring when the day turns into night. (Otherwise, it’s just too darn hot!). The recipient of a fully documented restoration, with photos, it is complete with service manuals, parts catalog, service records and a clean title. It is powered by a rebuilt 1.9-liter M121 inline four-cylinder engine fitted with twin Weber carburetors and a ceramic-coated exhaust manifold. There is new upholstery throughout including blue leather seating. Gauges were rebuilt in 2002, at which time the odometer was reset. Although it shows around 2,250 miles on the clock, this is not an accurate count of the life this 190SL has lived. Still, it’s one of the most gorgeous examples we’ve come across.
1964 Mercedes-Benz 220SEb
This 1964 220SEb cabriolet was ordered as an auto show display car at the Paris International Motor Show of the same year. Still showing in its original “Ivory” color, the car was exported to the US before returning to Europe in 2015. It underwent a frame-off restoration in 2017-18. Power for the 220 SEb came from a 2.2-liter M127 engine with Bosch fuel-injection delivering 120 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. That power went to the rear wheels via the Merc’s four-speed manual transmission. The interior looks showroom fresh despite the car’s natural age. It’s ready to go, from Düsseldorf, Germany.
1969 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.8 “Red Sow”
An expertly replicated version of the legendary Mercedes-AMG Red Pig, this 1969 300SEL 6.8 is one of five built by the Mercedes experts at Arthur Bechtel Classic Motors in Böblingen, Germany. Constructed to specifications by AMG co-founder Erhard Melcher, it is powered by a custom-built 6.3-liter V8 bored to 6.8-liters, with balanced crankshaft, connecting rods and Mahle forged pistons. As delivered, it makes 370 HP routed through a 6-speed GETRAG manual transmission. Other features include custom exhausts, sport seats and a roll cage. It also includes a “women’s bag and weekender bag, decorated Red Pig-style.”
1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman
This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman was according to the seller, originally bought for use by King Idris of Libya. It’s powered by a 300 horsepower 6.3-liter V8 engine with Bosch fuel-injection making 434 lb-ft of torque with a four-speed automatic transmission. This limo was refurbished in 2014 though its mileage may be hard to track. It was painted black and includes a tan leather interior, refinished burl wood trim and an overhaul of the suspension, brakes and exhaust. This air-conditioned Pullman includes a speaker system to address your citizenry, footrests, curtains and a chilled drink cabinet in the rear compartment. It also includes bumper-mounted diplomatic flag poles. Here’s your chance to at least appear like you have diplomatic immunity. As if!
1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC AMG 6.0 Widebody
This Houston-based 560 SEC AMG 6.0 widebody is a highly optioned example of one of AMG’s early hot rods. One of 50 examples, this car keeps its original 6.0-liter engine and other special features. It has had its passport stamped a couple of times having been acquired in Japan in 2016. It was returned to a United States-based collector in 2022. The body consists of a factory-numbered body kit and includes AMG OZ Racing wheels, Recaro electric sport seats and a host of AMG accessories. It currently shows approximately 55,300 miles on the odometer. It still looks as beautiful today as many contemporary Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
