Vehicle Description
Classic Car Addict is proud to present this three-owner 1957
Mercedes-Benz 180D in our Mesa, AZ showroom. Consignor has owned
this 180D for 30 years and has receipts and a record book since
he's owned it. The current owner purchased the 180D in 1993 with
54,354 miles on the odometer from the second owner and kept the
documented history along with the car. If you are searching for a
beautiful well documented classic, look no further.
The 180D is finished in paint code 934, China Blue. Consignor notes
that it had a full repaint done on 2/18/1994 in California. The
original brightwork is in beautiful shape, they were re-chromed in
1994 as well. Windows are free from cracks and pitting. Factory 13"
steel wheels with paint matched wheel covers measure 13x5 on all
four corners. A body-colored original full-size spare wheel and
tire are shown in the trunk along with the original toolkit. The
car retains tri-color taillights, reflectors in the lower rear
overriders, Marchal driving lights, and Bosch headlights.
The cabin is trimmed in red, it is not the original interior, but
the original color. The dual spoke black steering while frames the
VDO instrumentation including a 90-MPH speedometer as well as
gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The
odometer displays 168k original miles which are reinforced by the
stamped and noted service booklet.
The naturally aspirated 1.8-liter diesel was rated for 42
horsepower and 76 lbs.-ft of torque when new and features
mechanical fuel injection. Mechanical service is up to date and the
consignor has maintained and organized records since his purchase
in 1993. We do have all three owners' history for vehicle
registration. Lots of documents, records, receipts, etc. will be
included in the sale of this beautiful 180D.
We love the Mercedes-Benz models from the late 1950's and early
1960's. These were manufactured to a standard of excellence, not to
a price point, and it shows in each aspect. This 180D will be sold
on a clean Arizona title with documentation. Call Classic Car
Addict today for additional information, 480-256-1459.
