Original Mercedes-Benz Coupes, Cabriolets, and Sedans 1960-1972 by Tim Slade Pdf

When it comes to desirability, few cars inspire avarice like the coupes and convertibles built by Mercedes-Benz in the nineteen sixties. This is confirmed by the sky high prices that these models command. Their close relatives, the contemporary V8 powered sedans, are now available on a far more modest budget, yet possess all the same fine Mercedes attributes as the two door cars. This book looks at the history and development of the models, from the 220SE coupe's introduction at the '61 Frankfurt show, where it lost the limelight to a certain Jaguar, to the hugely collectable 280SE3.5 convertible of '71, and its sedan brethren, including the monstrous 300SEL6.3.These cars were close to perfection when they left the factory. With hundreds of detail shots of some of the best cars from Europe and America, combined with a smattering of archive material, the book aims to provide a definitive guide to originality for these cars, to appeal to owners, restorers and enthusiast alike.- A definitive guide to Mercedes built during one of the most influential periods of the manufacturer's history- Written, illustrated and designed to appeal to owners, restorers and enthusiasts- Detail shots of the some of the best Mercedes in the era - cars now owned in the USA and Europe- Archive material that will satisfy true devotees of these special cars- Contains invaluable guidance for those planning to purchase a Mercedes from the 1960sAbout the AuthorA Mercedes has always been part of Tim Slade's life, and he still drives the 180 he first rode in when aged three. He began as an artist and illustrator, with his work appearing in leading UK magazines including Classic Sports Car and Autocar. More recently, he has started to write about cars, and his monthly contribution to Mercedes Enthusiast has rapidly made him a respected expert on the marque.

Mercedes-Benz, the 1960s, W111 Two- And Four-Door by Bernd S. Koehling Pdf

The Mercedes-Benz six-cylinder W111 sedan followed in 1959 the successful ponton Mercedes and was the first development with a keen eye on safety and on broadening the export business. The 220SE two-door versions, introduced in 1961, followed on the unaltered sedan chassis and were praised for their timeless elegance. This guide tells the W111 story. It talks about its history and development, explains in detail chassis number and data card and comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide. It is the only book available that concentrates solely on the W111 models and it comes with superb recent non-Daimler AG color photos, this includes pictures of the suspension. These are some of the topics covered: Development of the W111 Sedan Technical aspects Safety features The 220, 220S and 220SE The 230S The US market The racing history The coachbuilders Development of the W111 Coupe and Cabriolet The two-door 220SE models W111 chassis number explained W111 data card explained W111 buyer's guide Paint and interior options Technical specifications A separate chapter is devoted to Béla Barényi, the Mercedes safety guru of the 1960s and beyond.

This book comes with some 180 high quality photos, most of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 75 (or the corresponding amount in £ or e), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option.

The innovative 300SE W112 was the most technically advanced sedan at its launch in 1961. Yet it disappointed its makers in terms of its sales success.

Mercedes-Benz - the Grand Cabrios and Coupés by Anonim Pdf

Nothing says summer like driving a convertible. The car without a roof has always been a symbol for luxury and "laissez-faire." And it still holds true today: everybody who's anybody drives "topless." The larger four-seater convertibles in particular have always been highly sought after--but they are difficult to build and have usually been made as coupes for this reason. Mercedes-Benz has always been a pioneer in this area. "Mercedes-Benz: The Grand Cabrios & Coupes" gives us a peek at the long-standing partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Stuttgart-based photographer Rene Staud. Carefully staged photos show graceful curves and precision down to the finest details that convey the company's dedication to a very special kind of driving pleasure. This volume presents the most important convertibles and related coupes from 100 years of Daimler automotive history. A special highlight is Daimler's new flagship, a convertible based on the new S-class that is being rolled out at the 2015 IAS. Even though summer eventually comes to an end, and sunny days can give way to showers, this book stands for everlasting convertible adventures."

Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1972-2013 by James Taylor Pdf

Ever since their introduction in 1972, the S-Class saloons from Mercedes-Benz have been considered the pinnacle of automotive excellence. For most of that time, ownership of an S-Class - at least, of a reasonably recent one - has been symbolic of material success and of restrained yet impeccable good taste. Several other car makers have nibbled at the edges of the S-Class market, but none has produced a viable and lasting alternative to the big Benz. Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1972-2013 charts the evolution and success of the series, from the W116 model, the first to be designed from the ground up as a large luxury saloon, through to the C126 coupe, one of the all-time Mercedes-Benz classic designs.Topics covered include: development and production of the W126 saloons and classic W126 coupes; the W140 saloons in the 1990s; the 140 coupes, the W220 models and the elegant 215 coupes; the W221 models, introduced at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in 2005; the C216 coupes and the future of Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Superbly illustrated with 288 colour photographs.
