by Mike –

Here is my pick for the classic car for sale today that I would like to own. This Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet looks like a car that could have been driven by Grace Kelly and Cary Grant along the coast of Southern France instead of a Sunbeam Alpine Roadster. It is in the same class as a Lancia Aurelia B24S but at a much lower price.

These cars are not fast but they sure do have style. This would be a great car to drive around Carmel and Monterey and take down the coast to Big Sur. One must buy it first, of course, and then drive it to Big Sur and back.

Mecum is a little skimpy on the history of this car but it sure looks good. The color combination is great, in my opinion, and the price range is reasonable if the condition holds up to an in person inspection.

Every time Monterey Car Week comes around I find a new model that I would love to own and this is it this year, at least so far.
