Introduced as part of the W120 / W121 generation of Mercedes-Benz E, the W120 was offered as the lower priced offering. The W120 consisted of two main variants, the 180 and the 180D. These cars were only available from the factory as four door sedans, but coachbuilt station wagons by Binz & Co. were also offered through dealerships. Production of the Mercedes-Benz W120 ended in 1962, before being replaced by the Mercedes-Benz E W110.
