Mercedes-Benz W128

The Mercedes-Benz W128 is a six-cylinder luxury car that Mercedes-Benz produced as the 220 SE from 1958 to 1960 as a sedan, coupe and cabriolet. It was a more powerful version of the near-identical W180 220 S, gaining the fuel-injected M127 version of the 2.2 litre M180 engine and an E in its name for Einspritzung, German for petrol injection. It was the last new model of the Ponton range, derived from the 1953 W120 sedan. The cabriolet was priced at DM 23,400, ten percent above the Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible, and nearly every interior surface of the coupe and cabriolet was covered in wood or leather. The sedan was built from October 1958 to August 1959 and succeeded by the W111 220 SEb Fintail.
