1960 Mercedes-Benz 180 Ponton – Classic German Elegance
This 1960 Mercedes-Benz 180 Ponton, finished in black with a grey leather interior, is presented in very good condition and shows 29732 miles indicated on the clock. It’s a fine example of Mercedes’ legendary “Ponton” range — a series of saloon cars introduced in 1953 that set the standard for quality and engineering in post-war Germany.
From 1958 onward, the 180 models were fitted with swivel windows in the front doors and iconic louver-style hubcaps, shared with the 190. The 180 and 190 four-cylinder variants were widely used as German taxis and are known for their reliability and durability.
This particular example is powered by a 1.8L petrol, 4-cylinder engine producing 55kW at 4600 rpm and 137Nm of torque at 2300 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission, with a claimed top speed of 140 km/h.
Still riding on a set of P185/80 R13 tyres in good condition, and featuring its classic grey leather interior, this Ponton is both a time capsule and a usable classic — ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to vintage Mercedes-Benz charm.
