Vehicle Description
The 200 was Mercedes-Benz’s entry level line of midsize automobiles in the mid-1960s and is one of their’ “Fintail” (German: Heckflosse) series. Karl Wilfert’s design was a dramatic statement for such a conservative company, an unexpected gesture to contemporary style, with wraparound front and rear windshields. The second series of 4-cylinder cars (1965-1968) had a 1988 cc displacement due to larger bore size, and was fitted with twin carburetors. Visually, the second series models had the front indicators relocated from the top of the front fenders to below the headlights. At the rear, the tail lights were enlarged and squared off and the chrome trim was revised (including the removal of the chrome trim from the trailing edge of the tailfins). All models now featured air outlets with chrome trim on the C-pillars.
