Heralding the inception of thesuccessful "Fintail" dynasty, the W110 appeared as a little gorgeous four seater in the 1960's. Introduced with a choice of one petrol unit and a Diesel plant, both displacing 1.9 L, the cars were built to compete on the North American market with the car having been designed with an American style-inspired rear adorned with two small "fins" placed above the tail lights. The line-up remained unchanged until 1965 when it saw a refresh.
