A friend on another forum alerted me to this , enquiring what I thought of it
Mercedes 220 S ponton coupe very rare example For Sale (1959) on Car And Classic UK [C603876]
I had to point out that it looks like a saloon 'chopped' into a sort of coupe : saloon front doors , don't know where that rear quarter light came from , saloon dash ( coupe/cab ones curve into the door panels ) that awful roofline , the whole car is a mess if not a death trap ...
Compare with the genuine article

The real car oozes class and elegance : the classic door lines , the shape of the roof , the way it sits atop the windscreen , the sweeping boot line , that lovely dash ( available in a choice of seven exotic wood finishes , every part hand crafted ) , the luxury sofa in the back ,,,, I could go on .
