Mercedes-Benz

The history of Mercedes-Benz starts at the turn of the 20th century. The company&#39;s lineage begins with <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/benz-cie/">Benz &amp; Cie</a> and the Daimler Motor Corporation (DMG). Daimler introduced the Mercedes 35hp, an automobile named after the daughter of DMG dealer and associate Emil Jellinek, setting the precedent for the use of the name. In 1926, DMG and Benz merged to create Mercedes-Benz, with their first car released in the same year. In the years since its creation, Mercedes-Benz has become one of the world&#39;s premier automotive manufacturers, known for their high level of engineering as well as their luxury. The company also has a prestigious racing history, have participated in all sorts of motorsport competitions, and achieved notable victories in Formula 1 and Le Mans. Just a few of the company&#39;s&nbsp;storied historical models include the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/sl/w198/300-sl-gullwing/">300 SL Gullwing</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/540k/">540K</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/600/">600</a>, and the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/s/w112/">300 SE</a>.

Mercedes-Benz S - W108 / W109

The W108 and W109 were a series of luxury cars built between 1965 and 1972 (1973 for North America). The W108 and W109 were produced as 4 door sedans available in two wheelbase lengths, originally with the W108 representing the standard wheelbase, while the W109 represented the long wheelbase. For the 1968 model year, this distinction ended as the 280SEL was built on the W108 platform. The W109 became exclusive to 3.0L (300) variants, with its greatest distinction being its self-levelling air suspension and greater luxury. Over the course of production, these cars were offered with various displacement inline 6 or V8 engines.
