MERCEDES-BENZ 200 – 280

This new Mercedes model series was officially launched at Geneva Car Saloon in March 1968 and the press acclaimed it as the “new generation” at that time. It attracted everyone’s attention by its well-balanced proportions, a plainer and broader radiator grille and the new square headlights. 

However the overall makeover did not only involve the cars’ design but also its technical specifications. A very important improvement for example was the fundamental overhaul of the running gear. It became really popular. Broad classes of the population in Western Germany were even able to buy one and therefore had a share in the economic boom of those years.

With this new title all fans of this fascinating series can soon indulge in nostalgic memories.
