Every decade has its style icons. The 1960s brought us go-go boots, bouffant hairdos, and kipper ties, but none aged nearly as well as the Mercedes-Benz W113 series of two-seat roadsters. The W113 was the original “car as accessory.” It was expensive and impractical enough to demonstrate one’s wealth, but it was also small and peppy enough for easy motoring through city traffic. It was sporty enough to be fast and fun to drive, and it was also comfortable enough to be luxurious. A universal car of style and flair, the W113 was always appropriate for any occasion, and it had the unique ability to make anyone look good in it.

This one owner Mercedes-Benz was originally used by the owner to drive back and forth to Florida from Pennsylvania. It is presented with Blue Metallic paint, a matching hardtop and blue interior that completes the classy look of this car. The exterior is shown with lovely brightwork and chrome wheel covers that are finished with the star emblem. Under the bonnet of this motorcar is a fuel-injected 2,778-cc inline six-cylinder engine that is producing an estimated 180-hp. This car is equipped with an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an AM radio and four-wheel disc brakes.

Originally manufactured to meet the demand for a sports car in the U.S., this "Pagoda" with its air conditioning and specially designed bucket seats provide great support while cruising. As one would expect from a Mercedes-Benz of this era, the quality and performance is immaculate.
