Thanks Hendrik, Applied MB pedantry is one of the reasons I stay on this list. So do you think that one is a 220s? Dwight Dwight E.

Re: [MBZ] Looks like a 1958 300s or 220s
Without going into detail, the top of the line Pontoon was the 220s (which was the S class of the era), being the most desirable pontoon due to the extra chrome and features. Once you get into the 300's you are talking big limousine, the Maybach of the time, with the 300d being the most common and famous but there where others but I am pretty sure they never made a 300s. They started with the 300a then b,c and finally the d, which got the nickname Adenauer. Note the small d, this designates a particular version rather than the type of engine as in 300D or 300E.

Grossly overpriced and poorly maintained Ponton. A true POC with the seat covers, and worth well below the asking price.
