Opis

The six-cylinder W108 and W109 models did away with the philosophy that one body has to fit all requirements from the taxi driver to the CEO. And until today these sedans have lost nothing of their timeless elegance. This 180-page book tells their story. It is the only book that deals exclusively with the six-cylinder versions.

One chapter is devoted to Karl Wilfert, who was as head of design behind most of the wonderful Mercedes cars of the 1950s and 1960s. Very few still remember him. A technical section covers paint and interior options, production history plus engine and performance data of each model. Enjoy

Why is this book not available as hard cover? Even today with modern digital printing services available, books with many color photos are expensive to produce. This book comes with over 170 high quality photos, most of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 75 (or the corresponding amount in or ), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option.
