A Fintail Fan Appears: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 220S
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: Oh no, another Fintail …I might win an award for submitting the most Mercedes Fintails, a distinction I may or may not embrace. Whatever. A $10k restored classic that presumably isn’t full of Bondo is a win as far as I know. Find this 1961 Mercedes-Benz 220S W111 offered for $10,000 in St Petersburg, FL via finbook markettail.

I had a 1964 220s in 1974 but it was a 4 speed on the column as probably this one is. At 10 years old it drove and felt like a new car. Something I couldn’t have said about the 1964 Buick my parents had.
Duh. Just saw it’s an automatic.
