Vehicle Description
1970 Mercedes Benz 280SEL The Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109 are
luxury cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1965 through to 1972 and
1973 in North America only. The line was an update of the
predecessor W111 and W112 fintail sedans. The cars were successful
in West Germany and in export markets including North America and
Southeast Asia. During the seven-year run, a total of 383,361 units
were manufactured. The car's predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz W111
(produced 1959-1971) helped Daimler develop greater sales and
achieve economy of scale production. Whereas in the 1950s,
Mercedes-Benz was producing the coachwork 300 S and 300 SLs and all
but hand-built 300 Adenauers alongside conveyor assembled Pontons
(190, 190SL and 220) etc., the fintail (German: Heckflosse) family
united the entire Mercedes-Benz range of vehicles onto one
automobile platform, reducing production time and costs. However,
the design fashion of the early 1960s changed. For example, the
tail fins, originally intended to improve aerodynamic stability,
died out within a few years as a fashion accessory. By the time the
2-door coup� and cabriolet W111s were launched, the fins lost their
chrome trim and sharp appearance, the arrival of the W113 Pagoda in
1963 saw them further buried into the trunk's contour, and finally
disappeared on the W100 600 in 1964. •INLINE 6 CYLINDER FUEL
