The W187 220 was first produced in 1951, making it one of the first Mercedes-Benz models of the 1950s.

The main focus of this model was luxury; it presented a classic appearance, as well as a comfortable interior equipped with modern technology accessories.

The only dilemma is that he ran out of speed and power, with a modest 2.199cc engine equipped with a 2.2-liter fuel tank.
