Model history
The Mercedes-Benz W180 is a luxury-class vehicle and is also known as a Ponton due to its design and self-supporting body. A distinction is made between the "large Ponton", the luxury-class model with the 6-cylinder in-line engines (220 and 220S) and the "small Ponton" of the W120/W121 model series with the smaller four-cylinder engines, which are assigned to the upper mid-range. The large Ponton replaced the W187 series, which still bore the pre-war design with its free-standing fenders. It was built from 1954 to 1959 and was also available as a luxurious convertible and coupé in addition to the saloon. The large Ponton was replaced in 1959 by the Mercedes-Benz W111 model series tail fin.
