Introduced at the 1965 Frankfurt Motor Show, and was designed under the leadership of designer Paul Bracq, the W108 was an evolution of the highly successful W111 produced 1959-1971) that had helped establish higher sales and greater economy of scale for the Mercedes marque.
The most visable change was the departure of the earlier tail fins but the W108 also had a lower body waist line that increased the window area, (the windscreen was 17 percent larger than W111). The cars had a lower ride (a decrease by 60 mm) and wider doors (+15 mm). The result was a visibly new car with a more sleek appearance and an open and spacious interior. The suspension system featured a reinforced rear axle with hydro-pneumatic compensating spring. The car sat on larger wheels (14”) and had disc brakes on front and rear. The W109 was identical to the W108, but featured an extended wheelbase of 115 mm (4.5 in) and self-levelling air suspension.
