Mercedes-Benz Did Not Officially Build Estate Cars Until SPECIAL CONVERSIONS SPACE Binz 190b AGEMercedes-Benz did not officially build estate cars until 1977, but Richard Truesdell found this Ponton wagon in California, built in Germany in the 62 early 1960s – and 63 saved by its present owner from the scrapyard two decades later. IMAGES Richard Truesdell “PROBABLY THE BEST KNOWN BUILDER OF MERCEDES ESTATES BACK THEN WAS BINZ, A SPECIALIST COACHBUILDER IN LORCH, GERMANY“ www.classicmercedesmagazine.com www.classicmercedesmagazine.com SPECIAL CONVERSIONS Binz 190b n the United States, estate cars remained popular up until the introduction of the Chrysler Minivans in late 1983. From that point on, traditional station wagons declined in popularity I here, with SUVs and car based ‘crossovers’ being the final nails in their coffin. The traditional American built, rear-wheel drive station wagons are now all but extinct on this side of the pond, the last being the 2005 to 2008 Dodge Magnum, a car conceived when Chrysler was part of the ill-fated, supposed merger of equals of 1999, the DaimlerChrysler conglomorate. Ironically it is European prestige manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW that still offer rear-wheel drive station wagons in the US, albeit priced way beyond the reach of mainstream buyers. And since its introduction of the S123 range in the late 1970s, wagons have been an important and popular part of the US Mercedes line up, accounting for up to 20 per cent of sales. But before the W123 series, did Mercedes-Benz ever offer estates? The answer is both yes and no. If you mean factory built station wagons, no. But if the question is did Mercedes 00264 00365 offer any estate, then yes, when you CLOCKWISE FROM top consider coachbuilt models from firms Ponton has the classic like Miesen and Binz in Germany, 1950s instruments and steering column shifter. along with IMA in Belgium, which A bench front seat was built the Universal models with full a very common feature factory approval from 1965 to 1968. in cars from the 1950s.

  • The 2010 E-Class
    The 2010 E-Class Who could have imagined? When Mercedes-Benz created an entirely new class of automobile more than 60 years ago, nobody predicted it would come to define not just the brand that invented the first car, but a standard by which all cars are measured. For eight generations, the E-Class has been more than a car drivers dream about. It’s what other cars dream they could be. For 2010, it all begins anew, with what is perhaps the most technologically advanced production automobile ever. It does things you never imagined a car might do. Which is exactly what one automaker has always done. This is the new E-Class. This is Mercedes-Benz. For more information, visit www.mbusa.com/e-class Iconic. Idolized. And soon to be imitated. Again. The car of tomorrow is the right car for today. From the seemingly limitless endurance of the 1950s “Ponton” body, to the much-copied style of the 1970s 280 Sedan, to the 1980s 300 E that AUTOMOBILE Magazine called “true greatness,” the E-Class has long defined what other cars will someday become. The 2010 E-Class Sedans and Coupes are showcases of futuristic technology, indeed. But their greatest innovation is demonstrating that you can love driving, care for your family, respect the earth and even spend wisely. All at once, like no car before. Let the imitation begin.

E 350 Sport Sedan shown at right with optional Iridium Silver metallic paint, Wheel Package and Premium 2 Package.
