The Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109 are luxury cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1965 through to 1972. The line was an upgrade of the Mercedes-Benz W114/W115, to succeed the W111 and W112 fintail sedans. 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 383,361 units were manufactured.
Mercedes-Benz W108/W109
Since the W108 and W109 were only available as 4-door models, 2-door W111 and W112 coupés and cabriolets, like this 1969 280 SE, are frequently mistaken for them.

Outwardly, the W109-based 6.3 appeared like any other 300 SEL. Its performance was another matter.
The Mercedes-Benz W114 and W115 are the internal designations Mercedes-Benz used for a generation of front-engine, rear-drive, five-passenger sedans and coupés introduced in 1968, with three-box styling by Paul Bracq — succeeding the W110 models introduced in 1961; and manufactured until model year 1976, when the W123 was released.
