In 2009 the folks at MBUSA will be recognizing 50 years of finbacks or the W 110 and some W 111 models. These were the models that had the dimunitive fins on the back. Some models built were the 190c, 190 D, 200 D, 220b, 220sb, 230, 230S, and 220 SEb, and 300 SE. The years ranged from 1959-1968. If you are an original owner or if you drive one currently please post photos! These were durable cars with strong engines but most of them were not maintained over the years as they were not considered as valuable as some others. NOW THEY ARE RARE! ![]() | ||

We owned a 1962 220 Sb, a 1963 220 Sb, and a 1964 220 SE sedan back in the 1970's. The '63 we bought as a parts car and wound up restoring it! The 220 SE was in a commercial for BRAKE-O brake pads. | ||

You will see them in ads and on T.V. as well. Your dealer may try to do a local ad to recognize owners in the area too. This will be done in cooperation with the Mercedes-Benz Club in the USA. | ||
