1958 Mercedes-Benz Ponton 190 – Classic Cream Cruiser with Red Leather Flair
This 1958 Mercedes-Benz 190 Ponton, finished in cream with a bold red leather interior, is a beautiful example of Mercedes’ classic four-cylinder saloon. It’s powered by a 1.9L petrol engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering a smooth and refined driving experience that remains surprisingly capable even by today’s standards.
The motor was overhauled early in 2024, and the odometer currently reads just 29,723 miles. The Ponton range, introduced in 1953, set the stage for Mercedes’ post-war success with its robust engineering and timeless styling. This particular model produces 65kW and 137Nm of torque, sending power to the rear wheels. It’s claimed to achieve a top speed of 140 km/h and weighs in at just over 1000kg.
Fitted with P185/80 R13 tyres in good condition and featuring a distinctive red interior that adds to its vintage charm, this 190 Ponton is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Mercedes-Benz history that’s both collectible and ready to enjoy.
