Reflection in Scale

The W110 was Mercedes-Benz's entry level line of midsize automobiles in the mid-1960s. One of Mercedes' "Fintail" (German: Heckflosse) series, the W110 initially was available with either a 1.9 L M121 gasoline or diesel inline-four . It was introduced with the 190c and 190Dc sedans in April, 1961, replacing the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db.

The W110 line was refreshed in July, 1965 to become the 200 and Diesel 200D, at the same time, a six-cylinder 230 (successor to the Mercedes 220) became part of the W110 line. Production lasted just three more years. The W110 and the 6-cylinder W111 were the first series of Mercedes cars to be extensively crash tested for occupant safety.
