Background
The Mercedes-Benz W 108 and W 109 are luxury cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1965 through to 1972. They succeeded the W 111 and W 112 "fintail" sedans, and upon their introduction, the manufacturer designated them as constituting a newly created "Upper Middle Class" range. The cars were successful in West Germany and in export markets including North America and Southeast Asia. During the seven-year run, a total of 383,072 units were manufactured.
