  The saloon cars produced by Mercedes-Benz during the 1960s and 1970s were hailed in their day for their sophistication and quality and the intervening years have taken away little of that respect. Many of the rugged cars from the 1970s are still in regular use, while the cars from the swinging 1960s are increasingly regarded as style icons - the perfect chic transport for artists and celebrities. The author takes a sideways look at these impressive cars, intertwining history, technical detail and anecdote. The book also includes discussion of the saloon-based cabriolets and diesels from this era.
