HISTORY OF THE 220A BY MERCEDES-BENZ: As World War II ended, Daimler-Benz AG was in precarious health. As a result of Allied bombing, its plants were largely rubble and the company’s administration was in shambles. For several years, the only Mercedes-Benz passenger cars were continuations of the four-cylinder 170V, a modest middle-class car that had been the best-seller in the 1930s. A wholly new luxury car was in the works, the 300 series, but in 1951, an upscale modernization of the 170 bowed as the 220 series, with the internal company designation of W187. Styling was similar to the 170, but its headlamps were faired into the front fenders instead of free-standing, giving the car a more up-to-date appearance. The engine, however, was completely new. It was a 2,195-cubic centimeter inline-six that had a single overhead camshaft operating the valves and short rocker arms. It was novel not only in its architecture but also for its dimensions. The cylinders’ stroke was shorter than the bore dimension, “oversquare” in engineering parlance or “short-stroke” to enthusiasts, and it was unusual in Europe at the time. It became the mainstay of Mercedes-Benz’s line, and derivatives remained in production until the 1970s. More than 16,000 Mercedes-Benz 220s were sedans, but more discerning buyers also had the option of ordering a two-three seat Cabriolet A or a full four-seat Cabriolet B. Just 1,278 people opted for the “A” version.

Financing

Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


Terms available up to 144 Months


If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
