Vehicle Description
The best way to make a dramatic entrance is always in a
Mercedes-Benz S-Class. With its fuel-injected V8 power, A/C
interior, and excellently well preserved two-tone exterior, this
1990 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL long-wheelbase sedan not only proves
that you have vintage taste, but also that you belong at the top of
the hierarchy.
Few cars have a more commanding road presence than an S-Class
Mercedes, and you'll have no trouble cruising through traffic with
this handsome sedan. That's because the bright white makes for a
bold presentation we all can instantly see. And it's joined by a
tasteful gray on the lower portion, door mirrors, and full-length
pinstripe. Not only does it look fantastic, but it's also the
original application. That's a true testament to Mercedes-Benz
quality as well as the respect this one has received over the
decades. In typical German fashion, the design is restrained and
the clean lines minimize the car's size, but there's no denying
that this is a lot of sheetmetal hammering down the road. A few
bits of chrome emphasize the car's best attributes, and there's
just no mistaking the big three-pointed star up front that moves
lesser traffic out of the way like a snow plow.
All the gray accenting of the exterior gets you ready for the full
gray interior - always a sign of a classy build. Inside, the
S-Class got every luxury and convenience item Mercedes engineers
could imagine at the time. The power adjustable leather buckets are
supple and supportive. Intricately stitched door panels feature a
matching material, and the burled walnut here and on the center
console warms up the atmosphere nicely. This exceptional condition
of the interior is another reminder of Mercedes build quality and
reaffirms this car's level of superior care (it's first owner kept
the car for nearly 20 years.) As a true luxury machine, there are
plenty of great features such as a sunroof, power locks, cruise
control, power steering, power windows, the classic Becker
AM/FM/cassette stereo, and automatic A/C climate control. Mercedes
also utilized the S-Class as the showcase for their latest safety
pieces, so you also get features not everyone got decades ago, like
the driver's airbag and anti-lock brakes. Big, clear instruments
are a hallmark of M-B cars, and the whole experience behind the
wheel is like piloting a first-class luxury liner.
With a sedan that looks so authentic and preserved thus far, it's
great to lift the hood and see such a tidy and stock engine bay.
Power comes from the numbers-matching 4.2-liter fuel-injected V8.
There's a deep well of torque to make the big sedan feel quick from
a standstill and light on its feet. It's also legendary for its
durability, and thanks to proper maintenance throughout its life,
it still fires up with the kind of vigor that makes far newer
vehicles jealous. The four-speed automatic transmission is the
perfect companion to flex its German muscles when it wants, and
then it settles back into overdrive luxury immediately. The fully
independent suspension that soaks up bumps like a hovercraft, and
four-wheel power disc brakes give you firm control when you need
it.
The sale comes complete with an extensive maintenance file from the
last five years. So if you're looking for a classic cruiser that
has been treated with upper-class respect, call today!
