Mercedes-Benz 170 S Cabriolet, fitted with a hardtop by Hebmüller.

Fixed roof instead of hardtop?

Is it a 170 S? The bonnet and windscreen wipers do not fit the 220 or the 300 S, and certainly not the 170...

A 220 on which someone forgot to fit the trim strip on the bonnet. ;)

Yes, indeed. I didn't notice that when I picked this picture for a puzzle. It is a Mercedes-Benz 220 Coupé (W187), but with flat bonnet sides like on the 170 S.

Thank you! That was, probably unintentionally, an exciting search.  :thumbsup:
