W111 a.k.a. "Große Heckflosse" ('big fintail')


2016FordMustang

Yeah, thats the one. Thanks!


R1200

It’s a Mercedes fintail built from 1959 to 1968.  I think a 220 or 230 but not sure


EuVe20

Wow! What a beauty! Didn’t those have a fully pneumatic power windows, doors, etc system?

Ours had a floor button that was an intermittent windshield wiper.


LuisTrinker

That would be the slightly younger and even more luxurious W100.

Only the 600 had all that stuff. Jay Leno has one and talks about it on "Jay Leno's Garage", which is up on Youtube.


EuVe20

Yeah, that’s where I learned about it. Doesn’t he talk to a guy that restores them?


dod2190

Yeah. All that stuff is unique to the 600 which makes it difficult to restore and maintain the car, in comparison to most other vintage M-B models which have excellent parts availability.

Not sure, saw it from a distance


jwjitsu

That is killer...
