A Ponton may look simple, but restoring one properly takes patience, experience, and the right original parts. Chrome grille pieces, bumper hardware, headlight rings, taillight assemblies, interior switches, gauge components, door handles, window parts, dash trim, seat hardware, trunk pieces, and correct rubber seals are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The 220S and 220SE coupes and cabriolets are especially challenging, with body, trim, glass, and convertible-top components that do not always interchange with sedan parts.

Mechanical parts are equally important. Original fuel tanks, brake master cylinders, carburetor pieces, injection components for fuel-injected models, heater controls, wiper motors, and correct engine-bay hardware can be difficult to source in usable condition. Old fuel hoses, dirty tanks, clogged filters, and tired brake parts should never be ignored on a car that has been sitting for years.

Rust also deserves close attention. Floor pans, rocker panels, lower fenders, frame rails, door bottoms, trunk corners, and battery areas can hide serious corrosion. Because Pontons use unit-body construction, rust repair should be handled carefully before cosmetic work begins. Correct panel fit, original trim, and the right fasteners are what give a finished restoration the quality these cars deserve.
