Beschreibung:

Introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1956, the 190 saloon was a larger-engined version of the landmark 180 of 1953, Mercedes-Benz’s first unitary construction model. Dubbed ‘Ponton’ because of its high, box-section, side members, the 180/190 bodyshell offered superior resistance to distortion when compared to the separate body/chassis of the preceding generation. As well as greatly increasing rigidity, the new design reduced noise and was otherwise notable for carrying the entire engine, transmission, steering and front suspension assemblies on a detachable rubber-mounted subframe. The overhead-valve engine of the preceding 170S was retained for the 180, as was the proven double-jointed swing axle rear suspension, but the ‘Ponton’ sported altogether more modern coachwork of greater roominess and much-improved visibility. Based on that of the 190SL sports car, the four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine developed 75bhp at 4,600rpm, an output good enough for a top speed of 140km/h (86mph). Increased in output to 80bhp, the 1.9-litre four continued in the successor 190b and 190c models. The former was merely a mildly restyled version of the original but the 190c, introduced in April 1961, featured an entirely new bodyshell, shared with the contemporary 220 models, which was longer, larger and lower while boasting the then fashionable tail fins, earning the 190c the sobriquet, ‘Fintail’. Disc brakes were standard equipment and automatic transmission an option on later examples and the model remained in production in this form until August 1965. Confirmed as delivered new in Italy by Mercedes Classic, this 190c ‘Fintail’ is finished in its original colour scheme of Graphite Grey with red MB-Tex upholstery. The car has an Italian A.S.I. homologation certificate number A01813 from 1996 and is inscribed in the Italian Mercedes-Benz registry under number 179.
