Meet "Hennessy" a 1966 Mercedes-Benz 250SE Coupé die großen hochkuhler heckflosse
The stylish W111 heckflossen coupe & cabriolet range was originally launched by Mercedes-Benz in 1961, with smooth, understated styling by the distinguished carossier, Paul Bracq, showing a slight American influence thanks to the vestigal pair of rear fins. The Sindelfingen-built coupe had particularly clean lines, with pillarless side glass and a wraparound rear window while underneath, the running gear was derived from the luxurious saloons.
Paul Bracq combined the style of the French & English with German reliability, hand-made craftsmanship, beautiful woodwork, and standard leather (including the dashboard). This one is equipped with the exotic & rare Macassar Ebony wood... stunning indeed.
"This is the car that really established Mercedes-Benz as a modern day maker of premium luxury coupes. Also offered in convertible form, the W111/112 platformed cars were noted for their airy greenhouse (which made for a minimal blind spot), high tech independent suspension, orthopedically designed seats, and terrific performance for the day. Most were powered by a series of 2.2, 2.5, and 2.8 liter I-6's, while the 280SE 3.5 - produced in its final years of production until 1971 - was powered by the 3.5-liter, SOHC V8. Equipped with any of these vintage powerplants, its smoothness, reliability, performance, and unparalled style made it an instant collectible classic."
