1973 Mercedes-Benz W108 280SEL 4.5 V8 Sunroof and Floorshift Car!!

Few vehicles are as distinctive and unique as the 108 and 109 chassis Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Although there are other vehicles that are instantly recognizeable - the Gullwing Mercedes, he '57 Chevy, nd the DeLorean to name a few - there is no other vehicle so classy, et affordable as a 108 or 109 chassis Mercedes-Benz. These models also made their way into many shows and movies - and still do, ven to this day. From Seinfeld ("The Jimmy") to The Simpsons ("The Bart Wants What It Wants"), nd every genre in between, he 108 and 109 will live on forever.

The 108 and 109 Chassis Mercedes Benz vehicles are the last truly hand-built S-Class Mercedes vehicles (aside from some current AMG models). They were also the last vehicles with the infamous "Mercedes look" - stacked headlamps (on North American versions), urvy hoodlines, nd a very large front grille. To this day, any people can still recognize their lines as distinctively Mercedes, ven if they were not even born when the model was still in production.

The Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109, tyled by noted automobile designer Paul Bracq, ere built in Stuttgart in what was then West Germany, rom 1965 until 1972. Although production ended in 1972, ome vehicles were marketed and sold as 1973 model year versions in North America. They were typically late-production vehicles, nd some didn't arrive in North America until 1973.
