Mercedes-Benz "Fintail" Models charts the development of the W110, W111
and W112 "Fintail" (or "Heckflosse") series, the line that helped revive
the Mercedes-Benz brand in the post-war years. With a unique combination
of exceptional engineering and a timeless beauty, even the most basic of
these vehicles has a charm that is difficult to find in the majority of
cars today. After outlining the company's history, this book looks at
the development of the first of the "Fintail" models - the W111- and its
launch at the 1959 Frankfurt Show. It also looks at the closely related
1.9 litre W110 and 3.0 litre W112 models, with the vehicles sold in the
German, US and UK markets covered in detail.
