1958 Mercedes-Benz Type 180a Ponton sedan
Mark Hayes / Tacoma, Washington

This survivor has 396,550 miles since new, and drives like it just came off the showroom floor. The color is 169H Stone Grey. It was for sale locally, and had been in the same family for 54 years. A local couple bought the car in Germany, then shipped it to the United States. It then passed hands to their daughter, and then finally to her husband who had no real attachment to it and was ready to sell it to someone who would take care of it.
