First Mercedes

Hello Bim
You grandfathers first Mercedes seems to have been a 4-cylinder W121 190 first series 1956-59 turtle back/Ponton series with either a gasoline or diesel engine. This was the predecessor model to the finback series W110/111/112.
W 120s were very nice, compact cars with lots of interior and luggage space, often with a front bench or touching front seats so you could sit 6 people in it. There was also a 6-cylinder model 219 in the same body configuration and the W180 220/200S/220SE with longer front body, more chrome and turn signals above the headlights.
Cheers from Switzerland
