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.

Mercedes-Benz S - W111

Mercedes-Benz introduced their W111 series of cars for the 1960 model year. Over the course of production, the W111 was built in three body styles: The <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/s/w111/sedan/">W111 Sedan (1960-1968)</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/s/w111/coupe/">W111 Coupe (1961-1971)</a>, and the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/s/w111/cabriolet/">W111 Cabriolet (1961-1971)</a>. This series of cars are nicknamed Heckflosse, which means &#39;Fintail&#39; in German. The sedan variants feature a more defined fintail, while the coupe and cabriolet sport a much cleaner rear end. The W111 eventually generated two variants, the more upscale <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/s/w112/">W112</a>, and the more accessible W110. People often confuse W111 coupe and cabriolet as being <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/s/w108w109/">W108 &amp; W109</a> variants, but W108s &amp; W109s were only built as a 4-door models.
