Model identification
The 219 from the a-pillar forward was identical to the long-nosed 220a, including the single-carburettor 2.2 L 6-cylinder engine. However, from the a‑pillar back, it used the shorter body of the W120/W121 180/190 models — accordingly, wheelbase and total length of the 219 were shorter compared to the 220 S, but bigger compared to the 190.[2] This can be identified by the one-piece windows in the rear doors, as opposed to the 220a and 220S having separate quarter windows.
Inside, the 219 used the simpler instrumentation of the small car, along with bakelite trim instead of woodgrain.
