It's always difficult to see if a vehicle is stretched when only a picture of the front is visible. If so one has to assume it's one of the more common ones; they were enough expensive also on entry level. Both of the cars shown are (very likely) 1966 (enough time for a 1967 MY?) Mercedes-Benz 250 S or SE or (very unlikely) 300 SE [W 108]. At least that is true for the pailer one. If stretched the darker one is a 300 SEL [W 109], but I don't think so. The Coupé shown in the thumb has 13 inch wheels and should because of that be a 1961-65 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE/C [W 111]. |

Thank you for the additional pictures! Now it's obvious the darker one doesn't have chrome around the side window frames and nor on the A-pillar between the front wind screen and the front doors. Hence it's not a [W 109] but a [W 108] 250 S or SE (or the highly unlikely 300 SE). The darker one in the last thumb is a 1960-65 Mercedes-Benz 220 Sb or SEb or a 1966-67 230 S, all [W 111]:s. Explanation: Chrome on top of the rear wing usually indicates a [W 111] and not a [W 110], which it could otherwise have been as it has the air outlets on the C-pillar. Those air outlets was standars fittings on the [W 111], but only from 1966 on the [W 110]. Chromed wheel embellishers were standard fittings on the 220 Sb and SEb and the 230 S, but not on the entry four cylinder [W 110] nor the 220 b [W 111]. -- Last edit: 2016-04-07 12:14:42 |
