The Mercedes-Benz W128, also known as the "Ponton" or "large pontoon", is a major series of sedans, coupes and convertibles produced by the German automobile brand Mercedes-Benz from 1958 to 1960. This model was a milestone in the history of Mercedes-Benz and helped cement the company's reputation as a manufacturer of luxurious and high-quality vehicles.
The W128 was part of the so-called "Ponton" series, which took its name from the then revolutionary ponton-shaped body. This new body shape, which was first introduced in the W120 and W121, replaced the previous body shapes and gave the vehicles a contemporary and aerodynamic design.
Under the hood, the W128 featured a six-cylinder engine. This engine was further developed over the years and offered impressive performance and reliability. The interior of the W128 was characterized by its elegance and comfort. High-quality materials, a clear dashboard and comfortable seats contributed to the luxurious ambience. The space was generous and the car could accommodate up to five people.
The Mercedes-Benz W128 was offered as a four-door sedan as well as a two-door coupe and convertible. The coupe and convertible were particularly elegant and sporty in design and are considered the most beautiful models in the Ponton series.
Today, well-preserved examples of the Mercedes-Benz W128 are highly sought after by classic car enthusiasts and are often admired at classic car gatherings and events. The W128 remains a symbol of quality, elegance and technical sophistication from Mercedes-Benz in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
