About the Mercedes 220 SE W128 Convertible Grey Metallic Sun Star 1:18
TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 220 SE W128 convertible reproduces the 1958 cabriolet in grey metallic. Diecast construction with an opening soft-top covers a refined, low-volume Mercedes body built alongside the more common W128 sedan and coupe variants.
The convertible version of the 220 SE was always the rarer, more exclusive bodystyle, built in far smaller numbers than the sedan that shared its platform.
A Mid-Tier Diecast Treatment of a Rare Bodystyle
Sun Star's approach favors detail density over sheer opening-feature count, and the grey metallic paint on this 220 SE carries visible depth under direct light, distinguishing it from the flatter single-stage finishes typical of entry-tier diecast. The convertible top, whether posed raised or lowered, is tooled with enough mechanical credibility to read as a functioning soft-top rather than a static shell, and the chrome trim around the grille and window surrounds picks out the era's flagship-level brightwork without looking overdone. Panel gaps sit tighter than mass-market diecast, though the metal construction still trades some of the razor-sharp shut lines a sealed resin cast could achieve for the practical benefit of opening doors and hood.
Placing a Late-1950s Cabriolet in a Collection
A 220 SE convertible represents the top of Mercedes' late-1950s range, built for buyers who wanted the fintail sedan's engineering with open-air styling few competitors matched at the time. It pairs well with a period 220 SE sedan or coupe to show how differently the same mechanical platform could be dressed, and its grey finish gives it a formal, understated presence that works alongside brighter postwar European classics without competing for attention.
