Background
The Mercedes-Benz W128 is a 6-cylinder luxury car produced by Mercedes-Benz as the 220 SE from 1958 to 1960 as a sedan, coupé, and cabriolet. A more powerful version of the near-identical W180 220 S, it gained the fuel-injected M127 version of Mercedes' 2.2 L (134.3 cu in) M180 engine, and an 'E' in its name for Einspritzung, German for petrol injection. The 220 SE was the last new model of the "Ponton" range which had design and styling roots tracing to the 1953 W120 sedan it was derived from.
