As being a coupe, I'd say it's a 1962-65 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE/C [W 111]. What does the white forward lights tell us? I believe I've seen both white and amber ones. Did the white ones use to be amber, but have faded? -- Last edit: 2021-01-07 20:51:47
andrepa ◊ 2021-01-07 22:45	totally agree, as we can exclude 250 SE by outside mirror here a 250 SE with similar front end. Think the amber lights are bleached out indeed.

Some states permitted white lens for the front indicators. Some uses amber lacquer coating on the bulb to convert for amber indicator. I have it in my collection posted at Sylvania Long Life Lamps 1156A
