      The W140s certainly command attention on the road. Very stately cars

    I have a w140 S320 and love it every tiem I seat behind the wheel. The best of the best, although I have a 123, 107 and 126.

    I just got my white knight 1998 S420 at the end of last year, and am going through the bittersweet process of the restoration to it's former glory.

    I drive an early ('94) S320 and i can find no equal to it. Ill have to drive it the rest of my life since any other car would be a downgrade.

    • @HLClassics

      Very true. This will always be a benchmark. It was the best car in the world of the 90s. Period.

    Dear question, can I separate the double window and clean between them because there is dust that obstructs vision? I washed them from the outside and the inside, but there is no benefit to the dust in the middle between them.

    The rear end of the W140 reminds me of a Toyota Mark 2 (JZX100) series 2 rear end.
    Cool video! New to learning about this chassis and it’s a very interesting chassis!

    I’m considering one , but I was so set on the swb and they are harder to find , as s320 . Ive found one perfect in perfect color combo , but it’s a lwb . My dilemma . Thanks

      We feel the LWB looks better proportionally for the W140. And your passengers in the rear will love you for it.

    The 1993 rear tail light bar is what the brochure looks like. However, it is made of 2 pieces that meet at the trunk key cover trim. Maybe marketing was trying to duplicate the earlier model look.

    I still don’t understand what the hell a beltline or lack thereof on the W140 is. I’ve googled and other illustrations have it close with the description of the “shoulders” of a car. What is a beltline?? The G class and ML wasn’t clear at all to me.
    I just don’t see or get it.
    **ok just googled the w220.
    I see it now. No indentation on the W140 there. Just flat like this video says. That was tough, wOw.

      @@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12 ok, if you type in w222 rear, or look at the rear of a w222, look on top of the gas tank. At the top of the gas tank, where it starts to curve inward. THAT is what the w140 does not have. Look at any 222 gas tank area is the best way I can explain it. The gas tank starts to curve inward because of the 222’s beltline that runs across the tank areas upper half when looking at the sedan from a side angle. The upper half gas tank area of the 140 is pretty much a str8 area with nO obvious indented striped beltline that would run across this upper area of the gas tank square, when looking at the 140 sedan from its exterior surface.
