The styling of the Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet is unique to Mercedes-Benz and its design language during this time period. In fact, if in 1995 you wanted a midsized car with a droptop, the Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet was your only realistic option. The fact that Mercedes-Benz included an automatic retractable soft-top is impressive: other German manufacturers should have taken note.
And so much about this car could not fail to impress: the front passenger seating on these cars is extremely comfortable, plush and firm with no bounce – and there is automatic climate control set in the computer.

As you might expect with a convertible car like this, there is tons of visibility. And if you’re a fan of wood-trim, starting with the great-looking solid wood gear-changer, the interior of the E320 Cabriolet will have your tongue hanging out.

As with most of the best things, it’s all in the subtlety of the detail. For example, the antenna and exhaust are located on the lefthand side of the car: the passenger side mirror is almost totally square but the driver’s side is rectangular. The reason for this was to assist aerodynamics and overall weight distribution, the reason why everything else was set on the left.
Notwithstanding their age, the engines of these cars are very reliable. You don’t see too many of them on the road anymore, but we have one now at Beverly Hills Car Club, a low-mileage 1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet featured with merely 22,381 miles on the odometer and finished in its exquisite factory color Smoke Silver Metallic (702), gracefully complemented with a Beige (265) interior.
Equipped with an automatic transmission, inline-six engine, twin exhaust, power-assisted steering, anti-lock braking system (ABS), VDO instrumentation, four-wheel disc brakes, Chestnut Brown convertible soft top, Bosch-branded headlights, four-spoke steering wheel, rear wind deflector, Michelin tires, alloy wheels, and a full-size spare tire fitted in the trunk.

If you’re in the market for a classic and luxurious convertible, look no further than this pristine ultra-low mileage E320 Cabriolet that is mechanically sound.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class was Motor Trend magazine’s Import Car of the Year for 1996.
Before 1993, the E in Mercedes-Benz nomenclature was a suffix following a vehicle’s model number which stood for Einspritzmotor (German for fuel injection engine).
It began to appear in the early 1960s, when that feature began to be utilized broadly in the maker’s product line, and not just in its upper-tier luxury and sporting models. By the launch of the facelifted W124 in 1993 fuel injection was ubiquitous in Mercedes engines, and the E was adopted as a prefix (i.e., E 220). The model line is referred to officially as the E-Class (or E-Klasse). All generations of the E-Class have offered either rear-wheel drive or Mercedes’ 4Matic four-wheel drive system.

The E-Class is Mercedes-Benz’ best-selling model, with more than 13 million sold by 2015. The first E-Class series was originally available as four-door sedan, five-door station wagon, two-door coupe and two-door convertible.

From 1997 to 2009, the equivalent coupe and convertible were sold under the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class nameplate, which was based on the smaller C-Class while borrowing the styling from the E-Class. With the latest incarnation of the E-Class released for the 2017 model year, all body styles share the same W213 platform.

Due to the E-Class’s size and durability, it has filled many market segments, from personal cars to frequently serving as taxis in European countries, as well as special-purpose vehicles (e.g., police or ambulance modifications), direct from the factory. In November 2020, the W213 E-Class was awarded the 2021 Motor Trend Car of the Year award, a first for Mercedes-Benz.

If you love the W124 our Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet is a perfect addition to your collection.

It’s rumored that due to engineering costs Mercedes-Benz lost money on the E320… Their loss, our gain!
