1957 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet Hydrak

This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet is finished in black over tan leather and powered by a 2. 2-liter SOHC inline-six paired with a four-speed Hydrak transmission featuring an automatic clutch. Steel 13? wheels wear polished covers with body-colored centers, and BFGoodrich wide-whitewall tires were mounted in 2012. The black soft top was installed in 2011, and is pictured both raised and lowered. Interior work conducted between 2011-2012 reportedly included replacement of the tan leather seat covers, carpets, trim plating, and vents. A lap belt is provided for the driver. The Hydrak transmission is shifted in an H pattern from the steering column, with the shift lever doubling as an electrical switch that activates the vacuum-operated single-plate clutch in lieu of a traditional third pedal. The rosewood dash houses a rectangular VDO clock, a refurbished Becker Mexico AM/FM radio, separate climate controls for driver and passenger, and a 110-mph VDO strip speedometer with hash marks for gear selection. The five-digit odometer shows just under 62k miles, approximately 200 of which have been added since the last auction. Actual mileage is unknown.
