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.
Exterior and Interior
Astral Silver is the color of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan, and it’s a fantastic hue for a full-size luxury car. After all, you don’t want bright shades when you’ve got a timeless and iconic design to flaunt. The design is the work of the legendary Friedrich Geiger, who is well-known for many of Mercedes-Benz’ iconic '70s models. As a North American market car, you’ll note its sealed-beam headlamps and elongated safety bumpers. However, these do little to detract from the car’s graceful elegance, and of course, its iconic ‘Star perched atop the radiator grille. The cavernous interior of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan is further aided by the car’s long wheelbase configuration, which is denoted by the L in its full title. You’ll find all the expected luxuries, including functional air conditioning with climate control, power windows, and power mirrors. You’ve also got a Becker Mexico AM/FM radio with a cassette tape player. A closer look at the steering column reveals a dainty stalk for activating the car’s cruise control system. As for the seats themselves, they are covered in blue leather and offer a degree of sink-in comfort that’s simply unavailable in today’s cars. These seats, coupled with the car’s superb suspension system mean that driving or riding in it is like traveling on a cloud.
