About the Mercedes 220 SE W128 Cabriolet Bronze Red Sun Star 1:18
TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 220 SE Cabriolet reproduces the open-top version of the range in bronze red, the most formal open-air body style within the shared 220 SE family. Diecast construction handles the folded top and coupe-derived lines, completing a sedan-coupe-cabriolet set from one 1950s Mercedes chassis.
Of the three body styles built on this platform, the cabriolet asked the most of Mercedes's coachwork, and delivered the most occasion in return.
Diecast Detail on a Formal Folding Top
The cabriolet shares the coupe's lower, elegant greenhouse but trades the fixed roof for a folding soft top, adding real complexity to the tooling: the top's folded stack behind the rear seats, the tonneau cover lines, and the slightly reinforced windscreen frame open cars of this era needed for structural rigidity. Diecast handles that added detail with the same crisp trim lines as the sedan and coupe, and bronze red paint gives this variant a warmer, more occasion-driven character than the sedan's blue or the coupe's grey.
Completing a Three-Body Mercedes Set
With the sedan, coupe, and now this cabriolet, a collector has the full spread of body styles Mercedes offered on one 1950s chassis, sedan for practicality, coupe for elegance, cabriolet for occasion. Few casting families let a collector assemble that complete a picture from a single era's range, and displaying all three together does more to explain how a manufacturer served different customers off one platform than any single body style could alone. The cabriolet, appropriately, is the one that draws the eye first.
