Mercedes Benz W108/W109


Mercedes Benz - W108/W109 (1965 to 1972)

The Mercedes-Benz W108/W109 model series was a large luxury car line built by Mercedes-Benz from 1965 through 1972. The W108/W109 was a replacement for the higher end of the "Fintail" sedan range, with three-box styling similar to the W111/W112 coupes. The somewhat controversial fins of the so-called earlier W111 "Heckflosse" were eliminated by designer Paul Bracq. The initial lineup featured three W108 (short-wheelbase, coil-sprung suspension) models: the 250S, 250SE and 300SE.

The long-wheelbase W109 featured one model, the 300SEL, which was equipped with self-levelling air suspension. The 6.3 was launched in the late 60s and was the flagship model in the Mercedes line-up. It was deemed the world's best car and fastest production saloon, and held this title for many years.
