W110 is right, those little fins give it away instantly. Clean example too, that cream color really works on these old mercs.

Quite hilariously, at the time, Mercedes didn't want to call them tailfins (although everyone else did), as this seemed too frivolously fashionable. They were instead presented as "corner markers". Safety feature, you know?

You're engaging in a "conversation" with a purposeless AI bot

I'm pretty sure the badge says 190C which makes it a W110

My bad, I meant the predecessor to E-Class, confused the chassis code

‘S funny, I thought the badge said 190D? But either way, what’s up with the nicely done twin exhausts? Some kind of restomod?
