This is a 220 without the S, quite unusual model with single carburetor. The emblem on the trunk is visible on this picture:

What?! Are you f*cking kidding me?!

The Mercedes is a lot rarer and more expensive car, than some stupid tanker for crying out loud! :D

... more expensive equals more interesting ?... quite simplistic logic, don't you think ? :D

Fun but fairly unrealistic confrontation between a Nazi and cranky New York Jew... :D

It's very easy to take what is written on Wikipedia for a fact. It says ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W111 )

"Powering the three cars was an identical 2195 cc straight-six engine, carried over from the previous generation, producing 95 hp (71 kW) at 4800 rpm, and capable of accelerating the heavy car to 160 km/h (155 if fitted with optional automatic gearbox). The engine of the 220Sb with twin carburettors, produced 110 hp (82 kW) at 5000 rpm and raised the top speed to 165 km/h (103 mph) (160 km/h (99 mph)) and improved the 0-100 km/h acceleration to 15 seconds (16 on the 220b)."

In reality both the 220b and the 220Sb had twin down drought carburettors. Twin Solex 34 PJCB for the 220b and two slightly more complicated Solex 34 PAJTA for the 220Sb.
I know this for a fact, both from a Mercedes repair manual and from the real life as I've a friend who has a 220b (unfortunatelly because of a major renovation it has been off the road for at least 20 years).

I'm not sure what you mean with "quite unusual model" as the 220b and the 220SEb sold in roughly equal numbers (around 65.000 each) while the 220Sb sold a little bit more than these two together.
Of course these cars are unusual today, but what car isn't? /vehicle.php?id=496268

The Mercedes had luxury and prestige going for it, but that tanker truck was a good 35 years old at the time. We're talking pre-World War II here. So it's really a bummer for both of them to be destroyed.

What would be even worse, would be if one of those Dodge Airflow tankers, or those old twinkie-shaped Diamond T tankers were hit by both cars.
