1992 Mercedes-Benz 400 SE - Throwback Thursday

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

"The radio comes complete with a CD player" ! Just one of many luxury features back in 1992 with the Mercedes-Benz 400. This throwback is timely as a survey south of the border found that the most recognizable car brand logo in America is the Mercedes three- pointed star. You agree?

    4700lbs, $100,000 Well that explains the key demographic Benz was targeting, the banker, closing the driver's side door felt like closing the vault door at work. Or at least brings back fond memories of closing the vault door when you were a peon branch manager who had to lock that heavy ass door every night.

    My dad bought the exact same in 1992... same pearl grey and light grey interior, but it wasn't a 400 but 300. I always wanted to find the car and last week i did... and bought it. It's in really really bad shape and almost impossible to repair sad enough :(

My Mom had a 95 E320 Wagon( We Still Have It Garaged Since She Passed Away) but, We’ve taken so many trips from California to North Carolina in that car. My Dads 2008 S550 on the other hand wasn’t engineered as well as those were.

    An ideal flagship saloon (sedan) in 2024 should measure 192 in length, 72 in width, 60 in height, 120 in wheelbase, 6 in ground clearance, 3,500 lbs. With a torque converted eight speed automatic or six speed manual option , 4000cc inline six cylinder, optional coupled to a 50 horsepower electric motor.
