1959 Mercedes 220SE Road Test with Kent Bergsma: Classic Series ’50 to ’74 Part 4

Jump in the front passenger seat and let Kent take you for a ride in his rust free and mostly original fuel injected gas engined Ponton. Purchased from the original owner Kent has not done anything to the car other than brakes and fuel system. This car is a joy to drive and can keep up with modern traffic. Just go for a ride in this car and then get into any other American 1959 sedan and you will know why he is so excited about having purchased this gem from the original owner.

This is just one part in big multi part series Kent is doing on OLD Mercedes Benz. 20 years ago many of these models did not seem that “old.” but now they suddenly are and some are becoming quite valuable. Kent will focus on what he feels are the affordable classics. Other than maybe a walk-a-round he will be not doing much on the likes of the 300SL gull wings and roadsters. He hopes to cover the Pagoda W113s in some of these videos. As this is being filmed in 2014 even these will not be “affordable” in the not too distant future.
