300 CD
Even more attractive than this
coupe's classic lines are its classic
over-the -road capabilities

"The 300 CD is emphatically not just another so called "personal" car, all image and no character.
It is a two-plus-two coupe ambitiously engineered to do many things superbly.  Thus the design of its suspension is as elegant as the design of its pillarless roofline.  The torsonal strenght of its body work concerned the engineers more than its glamour. The result is a very rare breed of limited production touring coupe: one that can be admired as much for its performance rewards as for its aesthetic rewards......"

300 D
America's most potent turbodiesel
automobile is also one of the world's
more elegantly civilised sedans

"The sedan shows at left is one of the very few performance sedans that could conceivably be driven from New York to Los Angeles as rapidly as speed limits allow, provide superb comfort every mile of the way - and make only a handful of stops en route for fuel.

Its ability to combine genuinely strong performance with what may seem extraordinary levels of efficiency is itself enough to mark the 300 D Turbodiesel as an automobile apart......"

300TD
Unquestionably the most versatile car
Mercedes-Benz  has ever built for sale

"There is virtually no reasonable automotive function that the 300TD Station Wagon cannot perform.
You get a vehicle with five doors and 109 cubic feet of cargo capacity when set up in maximum load-carrying configuration, outfitted with such standard ststion wagon fixtures as a fold-down rear seat and a sturdy roof rack.  Even its rear suspension is specifically engineered to cope with varying loads....."
