SUPER RARE 1959 MERCEDES-BENZ 220S SEDAN IS A WESTERN CAR WHICH SPENT ITS' FIRST 35 YEARS IN THE PHOENIX AREA. IT WAS AQUIRED FROM THE 2ND OWNER IN 1995 AND DRIVEN TO ITS' CURRENT LOCATION IN UPPER MICHIGAN. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN IN THE WINTER AND HAS APPROX 95,000 ORIGINAL MILES. AT SOME TIME IN ITS' LIFE, IT HAD A MINOR HIT ON THE RIGHT FRONT AND THE PICTURES SHOW REPAIRS TO THE RADIATOR SUPPORT ON THE RIGHT SIDE ALONG WITH SOME CRACKING OF BODY FILLER ON THE LOWER RIGHT FRONT FENDER. MECHANICALLY, THE CAR RUNS, SHIFTS AND STOPS ALTHOUGH IT WOULD REQUIRE MAINTENANCE CONSISTENT WITH LONG TERM STORAGE. THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF CHROME TRIM MISSING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE SHOWN IN THE PICTURES ALONG WITH SOME PRIME JUST BEHIND THE REAR DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE WITH WESTERN CARS, THE SUN HAS TAKEN ITS' TOLL ON THE PAINT WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY FADED ON UPPER SURFACES. THE INTERIOR IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH ALL WOOD TRIM IN TACT. THE REAR SEATS ARE NEARLY PERFECT WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT SHOWING SOME OPEN SEAMS AND IN NEED OF NEW SPRINGS IN THE LOWER PORTION OF THE SEAT. THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK. AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES, THE TRUNK IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND HAS THE ORIGINAL JACT IN ITS' PROPER PLACE. THE ONLY VISABLE RUST ON THE VEHICLE IS IN THE AREA OF THE REPAIR TO THE RIGHT FRONT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS AND DRIVEN VERY LITTLE DURING THE PERIOD. IT INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, AN ORIGINAL MERCEDES PARTS CATALOG, AND A MERCEDES REPAIR AND TUNE-UP GUIDE. THIS EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION FOR ITS' AGE AND WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE FOR RESTORATION. INTERNATIONAL BIDS ARE WELCOMED WITH THE PROVISO THAT INSPECTION, BANK TRANSFER IN US FUNDS, AND SHIPPING, ARE EXCLUSIVELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I AM LISTING THIS VEHICLE FOR A RETIRED COLLEGE PROFESSOR WHO HAS NO COMPUTER, AND WILL RESPOND TO QUESTIONS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
