Buying A 1964 Mercedes Benz 220SE 111

1964 Mercedes Benz 220SE 111Perhaps the biggest claim to fame for the 1964 Mercedes Benz 220SE 111 and its other year models is the fact that it was praised as being the “most advanced sedan in the world” at the time. In fact, the Mercedes 220SE 111 models were the first cars in the world to be designed with passenger safety in mind from the very beginning. Mercedes Benz safety expert, Bela Barenyi, divided the auto into three separate parts: a rigid passenger compartment, a soft front, and a rear end. Today, we call these crumple zones, as they are designed to absorb the energy during an impact. This focus on safety was also visible inside the cabin, as hard, sharp-edged interior fittings were difficult, if not impossible to find. Passengers were now surrounded by tickly padded dashboards, recessed knobs, and padded window surrounds, while a new safety steering wheel and safety column also made their debut. First used in the W111 models, the column collapsed on impact.
