Manufactured from 1961 to 1965, the Mercedes 220SEb Cabriolet offered a modern body design that blended both style and grace. Comparable to the Cadillac and Jaguar E-Types of the day, the car featured fintail-like adornments that were said to be the German automakers answer to the exaggeratedly finned American cars. However beautiful the car was, the safety advancements that were offered during this time would put Mercedes at the forefront of the industry. Boasting front and rear crumple zones to protect passengers in the event of an accident and using Mercedes-patented retractable seatbelts, the 220SEb was as safe as it was beautiful.
