Model history
In 1953, the W120 model series with the Type 180 was introduced to the public, which was the first self-supporting body from Mercedes. It was the successor to the pre-war W136 (170) series. The series was nicknamed Ponton due to the then-new shape reminiscent of a pontoon, which for the first time did not include mudguards and headlights in the bodywork and also no longer featured running boards. Until 1962, the Ponton series was in production in many different versions and shaped the image of Mercedes Benz in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Especially as taxis (diesel), the Pontons were very popular for a long time.
