1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 S w111 - Fintail Mercedes

In August 1959, a profoundly revised passenger car range was presented. According to the motto „The New Six Cylinder Model - A Class Of Its Own“ three completely reconstructed models appeared as the successors of the former six-cylinder models 219, 220 S, and 220 SE. Except for some equipment details, the only difference between the new 220 b, 220 Sb, and 220 SEb, which internally were allocated to model series 111, was the different types of engines. Production of the 2.2- and 3-liter models with „fintail“ bodies ceased in July/August 1965. The 220 Sb, 220 SEb, and 300 SE were replaced by the 250 S, 250 SE, and 300 SE, which belonged to a completely new model generation. At the same time, the 220 b was replaced by the 230 S. This was in fact a new designation for an „old“ model: the 230 S was largely identical to the 220 Sb, but had received a modified engine. By giving the former 2.2-liter engine a wider bore and higher compression, performance could be boosted by 10 hp to 120 hp. The hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension of the rear axle, which replaced the former coil spring and kept the body level constant independent from vehicle load capacity, was also new. Apart from the model badge on the boot lid, there was no external difference between the 220 S and the 230 S.

My Grandfather had one of these in early 80s white interior 280se. Beautiful car.

[@richardjp2661]

when I was a kid, my dad had 230S and it was very comfortable with sliding roof

[@tomhorst7614]

I drove one of these while attending school it was a sturdy, spacious, reliable car that we had many ski trips in. It had a 4 speed column shifter, great fuel economy plus, I found it attractive. At the time it just wasn't fast enough for me. I sold it and bought a muscle car.

Best cars ever made by Mercedes I had one 45 years ago.

[@jamesfpianist1168]

1966 230s was one of the first cars I owned. I rode in it as a child from 7 years old. I kept it for almost 20 years so it had been in our family for about 31 years. Sad to get rid of it. Fuel economy with the duel carbs was a little rough. Cruised at 70 (sweet spot).

[@scaloi]

I still drive one today, as a daily driver, same color. Changed the rear-end with a better ratio from a 450 se and 14 in. tires to cruise at 75 mph effortless.

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

When you see the W111 Fintail, the lines the engine the interior, it reminds me of the cars of the 50s, like the Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Belvedere,"Christine,.The Cadillac that also had the fintails, which later became extensions,.that added certain look, appearance that would let you know it is a W111.Fintail, so unique at the time.

[@ulisesbanuelos5707]

En Mexico llego solo como modelo 220 S hasta 1965, con similares características estéticas excepto el motor. Sin duda un gran auto.
