Model history

The W111, which was introduced in 1959, marked a significant further development of the renowned pontoon models of the W180 series at Mercedes-Benz. The W111 models, also known among enthusiasts as the large (rear) fin, set new standards in terms of passive safety. The first use of the safety body developed by Daimler-Benz was groundbreaking worldwide and gave the W 111 models an unsurpassed reputation. Today, the W111 models are popular collector's items.
