The Ponton family spans four- and six-cylinder cars with meaningful trim and mechanical differences: the 219 is unusual as the larger engine in the smaller body and uses a plainer bakelite (not wood) interior; single-carb 220 cars are torquey and smooth without missing the 220S's dual Solexes; and the W121 190 series carries chrome belt-line trim absent on the W120 180 series.
Understanding the range: 180/190/219/220/220S/220SE and W120/W121/W180
