1952 Type 220 Convertible B
Well, the time has come I must sell my baby. This is a 1952 Mercedes Type 220 Convertible B. Car is black with a tan top and burgundy interior. Has been frame off restored and is in perfect mint cosmetic condition. Mechanically, the car is almost in mint condition. I have gone completely through the brakes, re-built the carburetor, new exhaust system, and re-lined fuel tank. The engine has good compression, fresh tune-up, and all fluids changed. Car only has 36,723 original kilometers. There are a few items that I have not gotten around to yet. The shift linkage needs new bushings, original Telefunken radio needs repairing, and some electrical lighting work (all lights work except blinkers). I just don’t seem to have the time to finish it up. Car will run smoothly 75 mph down the highway. It will definitely turn heads. $49,950. Call 318-649-5044 or 318-381-5080 (cell) for more information. A photo package can be seen at www.oldsouthphotography.net/car/index.htm

oldsouth,
What a beautiful car I know it hurts you to see it go ! Long time no post. How is everything going? I wish you luck selling your beauty. If I had the extra cash I would certainly take it off your hands.

Good to hear from you drbrandini! I've been real busy. Started being a wedding photographer in my retirement years and it is taking a lot of my time. I still lurk here from time to time. I enjoyed working on the 220. Struggled with either to keep it or sell it for several months. I have a new choke cable and fuel sender that have been laying in the shop for a month and I have not got around to installing them. I really enjoy driving the car; you get a lot of stares. I need to buy my son a car to go back and forth to school in and can't justify having 4 cars for 3 drivers and don't want to liquidate any stocks at this time (they are finally going up).

Hey OldSouth... if I don't do well in college, would it be OK if I move in, build myself a shack to live in on your lawn and mow your lawn in exchange? You got a beautiful house and car
p.s. I have seen a 1953 car, probably the same model in person. The owner. a veterinarian, uses it as his daily driver except in the winter. Really nice car |

Thanks sfloriII
Snibble - That sounds great to me, especially the yard mowing part (we mow 9 acres), but my wife said we can't have any Yankee squatters living in our yard

Well, I haven't sold the 220 yet but had a fair offer. I re-listed it on ebay with no reserve if anyone is interested.
