Mercedes-Benz' S-Class has built up a hard-won reputation as the pinnacle full-size luxury sedan over a production run that has its roots in 1951. This particular 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL is one fine example, as it's reportedly been in the same family for all its life. Racking up a healthy 173,121 miles, you'd be hard-pressed to tell; that's how well it's been cared for. Moreover, the car has undergone some refurbishment and restoration work to help keep it as fresh as possible. If you choose to buy this car, you'll be making a very smart decision that your head, as well as your heart, will approve of.
At first glance, this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL may appear black, but it's actually wearing a very dark shade of brown. The car was reportedly repainted recently, which explains its pristine outlook. Rolling on the correct style of wheels and wearing its distinctive North American lights plus bumpers, this is a car that will only get more graceful as it ages. Time to get inside because, let's be honest, the best place about an S-Class is its cabin. This particular 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL wears a Palomino-themed cabin that can easily swallow five large adults in comfort. The current owner tells us that a new interior was recently installed, as well as electronic switch points. Gaze upon the pinnacle of luxury in 1973, and you'll find plenty of features that are commonplace nowadays but were sheer magic back then. Features such as climate control and power windows. We also spot a period-correct Becker AM/FM head unit with cassette tape control. Given the rarity and difficulty of sourcing such a head unit nowadays, it's wonderful to see one where it belongs; in the dashboard of a top-tier Mercedes-Benz product.
This 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL is powered by a 4.5L V8 that develops 190hp for US market models. The current owner reports that the engine has not been rebuilt, which is a stout testament to the reliability and longevity of Mercedes-Benz powerplants. A three-speed automatic transmission is on hand to drive the rear wheels, and it's reportedly been rebuilt. We're also told that the power steering pump has seen a rebuild, ensuring that you won't find it difficult to steer this sizable luxury car.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has its roots from way back in 1954. Back then, it wasn’t called an S-Class; the S moniker came with the W116 generation of 1972. Produced for eight years, the W116 would be made as a four-door full-size luxury sedan. Interestingly, North America was a key market for the W116, which explains how this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan came to be here. Up for sale with 40,289 miles on the odometer, this car comes with service records, plus its original manuals. It’s also got some new mechanical components to keep it running like it should.

Since 1954, Mercedes-Benz has been producing their Sonderklasse, or Special Class.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is one of the most aspirational midsize luxury cars out there. Aspirational, because many eager motorists aspire to own and drive one at some point in their life. While an S-Class is very much a car to be driven in, the E-Class strikes that perfect balance between a driver’s car and one that is ideal to be chauffeured in. Of course, that applies to the sedan and station wagon; cars such as the E-Class Coupe and Convertible/Cabriolet are very much aimed at those who love to drive. Take this 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 Cabriolet as a prime specimen. It’s a well-adjudged specification, with ample but not excessive power, plenty of comfort features, and a timeless silhouette. Furthermore, it comes to you with under 22,000 miles on the clock, and has undergone a recent service.

With a reported 83,900 miles on the clock, this German classic is a clean example ready to take your weekend drives and driveway game up a level.
The famous French designer Paul Bracq deserves a round of applause from all European auto lovers around the globe. He is the creative mind behind Mercedes-Benz's most glamorous and desirable models. Among them, the Pagoda is a cherished example built between 1967 and 1971. The one Pagoda nickname stems from the design of the hardtop roof, which is similar to the roofs of traditional Asian pagodas. It was also called the Mercedes-Benz W 113 and made history as the first sports car with a "safety body." What we have here is a 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL showing just 47,700 miles on its clock. Its owner claims that they are the second owner of this car, and it is mostly original. It currently resides in California and is awaiting its next lucky owner.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
