1961–1968

Mercedes-Benz W110
First Series 190c/190Dc  ( 1961-1965)

The W110 "Fintail" (German: Heckflosse) was Mercedes-Benz's line of midsize four-cylinder automobiles in the mid-1960s. The line was introduced with the 190c and 190Dc sedan in April, 1961,[2] replacing the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db. The W110 line was refreshed in July, 1965 to become the 200 and Diesel 200D (model year 1966 for North America); at the same time, a six-cylinder 230 (successor to the Mercedes 220) became part of the W110 line. Production lasted just three more years, with the W115 220 and 220D introduced in 1968. This was the first series of Mercedes cars to be extensively crash tested for occupant safety.

First Series: 190c/190D
Production: 1961–1965
       Engine       :  1.9 L M121 I4
                                           1.9 L OM621 Diesel I4

1961-1965
First Series 190c/190Dc

The 190c and 190Dc replaced the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db as Mercedes-Benz's line of less-expensive four-cylinder sedans. The "D" denoted a Diesel engine, a technology pioneered by Mercedes-Benz and championed despite widespread derision in the motoring press. The body was derived from the W111 series but with a 145mm shorter nose and rounded headlights (which gave a similar front-end appearance to the W120/121 pontol models). The rear end was identical to the W111 220b (the 220b was the base model of the W111 series). The interior layout and dimensions were also identical to the W111 220b, but with fewer options such as fixed-back seats and bakelite trim on the dashboard (as opposed to timber in the W111 models). Because the 190c and 190Dc models were basically a W111 220b with a shorter front, they offered the same interior and luggage space as the W111 series but with smaller and more fuel efficient engines. This made them extremely popular with taxi drivers.[3] Production of the 190Dc exceeded that of the petrol engined 190c by nearly 100,000 units.

(1965-1968)

Mercedes-Benz W110
Second Series 200/200D/230

The second series of 4-cylinder cars lasted just a few years. Production of the new 200, 200D and 230 models commenced in July, 1965,[5] at the Sindelfingen plant. The 200 and 200D replaced the 190c and 190Dc models respectively. The engine in the 200 had the bore increased from 85 to 87mm giving a 1988 cc displacement and was fitted with twin carburetors (the 190c had a single carburetor). The OM621 diesel engine in the 200D was essentially identical to that of the 190Dc (which was actually a 1988 c.c. unit despite the car being labelled as a '190') but was improved by using a five main bearing crankshaft instead of the original three. Visually, the second series models had the front indicators relocated from the top of the front fenders to below the headlights. At the rear, the tail lights were enlarged and squared off and the chrome trim was revised (including the removal of the chrome trim from the trailing edge of the tailfins). All models now featured air outlets with chrome trim on the C-pillars (identical to the W111 models). Inside, there were very few changes except all models now featured reclining front seats (previously an option on the 190c and 190Dc) and the 230 had a central armrest in the back seat as standard. In the later half of 1967 the interior door handles and dashboard switchgear were upgraded to match that of the W108/114/115 series cars. All three of the W110 second series cars ended production in January 1968 with the introduction of the W115 220 and 220D.

AThe 3/15 DA-2 replaced the DA-1 in April 1929. The main change from the DA-1 was the operation of the brakes on all four wheels by the foot pedal, which had operated only the rear brakes on the DA-1. Other changes included larger tyres and a lower final drive ratio. Available body styles included a steel-bodied two-door saloon, a two-seat convertible, and a delivery van.

Like the Jeep Wrangler, the FJ Land Cruiser has its roots in military vehicles. Tough-looking and even tougher over rocks and mud, the gasoline FJ40 and diesel BJ40 Land Cruiser SUVs have conquered the world’s most-difficult trails. Toyota’s modern FJ Cruiser is the reinterpretation of the classic Land Cruiser models of old, even as the latter has grown today into a luxury behemoth of an SUV. Toyota honors the classic Land Cruiser faithful by still offering OEM replacement parts through its dealer network.

Fiat's upper middle class car in the later 1920s was also designated as the Fiat 520, but was smaller and more modestly powered than its earlier namesake.

During the early decades of the 20th century European automakers, once steering wheels had replaced centrally positioned steering tillers, tended to place the driver and his steering wheel on the right side of the car regardless of any local regulations or conventions concerning which side of the road cars should be driven. By the 1920s, as the number of wheeled vehicles on the roads increased, clearer consensus had become necessary in the more populous parts of Italy about the need for everyone to drive along the right side of the road. The 1927 Fiat 520 was one of the first cars, presumably in recognition of this trend, to place the steering wheel on the left side of the car.

The 520 was replaced by the Fiat 521 in 1928, although the 520 appears to have continued in production until 1929, by when more than 20,000 six-cylinder Fiat 520s had been produced.

As General Motor’s stalwart and devoutly focused truck brand, GMC has produced years of tough and innovative workhorses that are often completely overlooked by classic car collectors. But, when it comes to rare customs, dedicated fans of the ‘Professional Grade’ division have a rich legacy of creating unique and exceptionally well-done offerings which cause a big stir anytime they roll onto a show field. The owner of this immaculate 1957 half-ton wanted to capitalize on both General Motor’s timeless design and GMC’s innate exclusivity by building a world class show stopper which mixes the best elements of a pro-touring pony car with the all-American class of a vintage pickup. If you’re a diehard GMC fan, an old school truck lover, or just a curious buyer who’s looking for something a bit different, this killer custom is EXACTLY what you’ve been waiting for!

As the beneficiary of a recent high quality frame-off restoration, this sweet GMC Half Ton is a meticulously planned crowd gatherer which wraps classic 50s design around the comfort and reliability of a modern street machine. During its rejuvenation, the truck’s expressive body panels were stripped, massaged into a laser-straight canvas, and bathed in a rich coat of Planet Color Tobacco Copper Metallic basecoat. When that killer black and brown ‘flop’ dried, a protective clearcoat shell was sprayed, sanded and buffed to an impressive wet-look shine. And today, the truck sits as a slick utilitarian showpiece which trades blue collar Main Street overalls for white collar Wall Street fashion!

Introduced as the successor to GM’s venerable ‘Advanced Design’ models, GMC’s stylish ‘Blue Chip’ series wraps excellent proportions in timeless sheetmetal which showcases lead designer Harley Earl’s talent for both form and composition. At the front of the truck a 1957-exclusive stainless grille, which seamlessly swaps its traditional model designation for a fresh “LS1” emblem, hangs between modern, chrome trimmed headlights and traditional, clear parking lights. Below that grille, a conservative chrome bumper bends around the corners of curvaceous front fenders; and above that grille, a Bel Air inspired hood wears a prominent gold “GMC” inset. At the top of the truck a curved and tinted windshield, which is cleared by two bright wipers, rides behind a show-worthy combination of fresh weatherstripping and pristine trim. At the edges of that windshield, professionally polished stainless emphasizes the truck’s swept side glass; and behind that windshield, fresh bed planks anchor mirror-like hardware beneath a full-size spare tire. At the sides of the truck ‘flow through’ body lines, which are perfectly highlighted by bold Tobacco Copper metallic paint, glisten beneath correct chrome door handles and correct chrome mirrors. Below those lines, awesome chrome steps provide both form and function; and behind those lines, sculpted stepside fenders remind us of the time when design trumped utility. At the back of the truck an embossed GMC tailgate, which features metallic gold lettering, extends on stainless, plastic covered chains. At the sides of that tailgate, polished tail lights look good and function great; and at the bottom of that tailgate a conservative chrome bumper hangs over a modern, frame-mounted hitch.

Take a look under this GMC’s stylish, domed hood and you’ll find a fully detailed 5.7 liter LS1 V8 which produces enough rock solid power and stump pulling twist to put that hidden hitch to good use! Straight from the factory, GM’s award winning Generation III small block combines a sturdy aluminum casting with lightweight aluminum heads, coil-near-plug ignition and flat top aluminum pistons to create razor sharp throttle response and a torque band that’s as flat as Kansas. At the front of the engine a modern serpentine system, which is complete with a full set of billet pulleys and polished brackets, spins a chrome alternator and a chrome AC compressor at the sides of a chrome air cleaner that’s equipped with a fresh re-usable filter element. Once air enters that filter, it flows through a factory LS1 throttle body into a chrome Street and Performance Magnum 3 intake which is bolted down over completely stock internals. High octane fossils are provided by a GM electronic fuel injection system. Sparks are sequenced through high performance Taylor plug wires. Spent gases are whisked away by a slick pair of ceramic coated Stainless Headers shorty headers. And cooling comes courtesy of a gloss black radiator that’s complete with chrome corrugated hoses, a polished overflow tank and a large electric puller fan. Aesthetically, this GMC’s glossy Tobacco Copper Metallic engine compartment combines with the small block’s clean silver casting to provide a natural contrast which simply oozes modern appeal. And niceties such as body-matched fuel rail covers, polished fluid reservoirs, high quality braided hoses and small “LS1” emblems add just the right amount of flash to complement the truck’s simple, vintage charm.

Step right under this solid half-ton and you’ll find a clean undercarriage that’s free from run-ins with other cars, shows no signs of Mother Nature’s wrath and, based on looks alone, hasn’t seen a wet road or been anywhere near a puddle of mud since its thorough, frame-off restoration. The hot LS1’s power flows from a rebuilt 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission to a solid driveshaft which turns a sturdy Ford nine inch rear end. That gloss black axle pushes the truck on a familiar four link suspension via a pair of high quality QA1 coil over shocks. Tracking is provided by a modern double A-arm set-up which features tubular control arms, two more quality QA1 coil over shocks and power rack and pinion steering. And quick stops are a cinch thanks to power four wheel disc brakes which utilize GM front calipers and Wilwood rear calipers to clamp large drilled and slotted rotors. At the center of the floors, an aluminized true dual exhaust system breathes through mandatory catalytic converters and brash Flowmaster dual chamber mufflers. At the corners of the floor, 16 inch painted steel wheels spin mirror-like center caps inside fresh stainless trim rings and 235/70 Hankook DynaPro AS wide whitewall tires. And the detailing on the underside of this truck is simple and purposeful with a new stainless fuel tank, new stainless lines and new stainless hardware accenting a gloss black frame a gloss black suspension and mildly undercoated floors.

Twist this awesome GMC’s classy chrome door handles and you’ll find a spectacular Chocolate and Tan interior that’s one of the many highlights of a first-rate custom build. The leather topped dash, which is accented by a smooth coat of body-matched paint, hangs a full set of Auto Meter Carbon Fiber Ultra-Lite gauges between an engine turned instrument panel, controls for the truck’s heat and air conditioning system and a modern Pioneer CD player that’s Bluetooth equipped, MP3 compatible and satellite capable. In front of the dash, a firm split-back seat wears attractive two-tone leather trim which is mimicked by both the headliner and cab panels to add a bit of luxury to an otherwise utilitarian design. At the sides of the dash, custom leather door panels hang great sounding speakers below small armrests, billet door handles and well-integrated power window switches. Under the dash, like-new carpet props color-matched floor mats next to custom kick panels and traditional rubber foot pedals. And in front of the driver, an aftermarket tilt steering column spins a traditional, painted wheel around a billet shift lever and a modern accessory stalk which activates the LS1’s cruise control.

Included with the sale of this first-rate custom is a stack of restoration receipts.

Whether it’s simple nostalgia or their long list of extremely useful design virtues, one thing is certain: trucks NEVER go out of style. And it’s becoming an increasingly rare occurrence to see one of these 50s show stoppers in our RK Motors Charlotte showroom because they sell almost as fast as we post them! If you’re in the market for something that’s every bit as fun as it is cool, this awesome GMC is exactly what you’ve been looking for. Don’t miss the chance to own this unbeatable combination of performance and style!

There’s just something about a BMW that conveys the perfect combination of aggressive performance and excellent driving dynamics. And this 2000 E63/4 M Roadster, dressed in a great looking coat of original Dakar Yellow, puts a fresh twist on a traditional favorite. Looking more akin to classic 60s muscle car hue than modern BMW fodder, this Z3s unique urethane has been meticulously pampered and protected by three owners since it rolled out of BMWs Spartanburg, South Carolina assembly plant. Today, with a clean CarFax that displays nothing more than a dogged dedication to excellent maintenance, this awesome M roadster is one of the nicest low mileage sports cars on the planet!

While the base Z3 roadster was more exciting than most BMW offerings of the time, it was still rather conservatively designed to appeal to a wide range of buyers. So BMW knew that a more dramatic appearance would be needed when they dusted off their legendary M badge; and according, the M Roadster you see here is equipped with a host of visual upgrades that, while significant, flow extremely well with its already impressive design theme. At the front of the car, a deeper front valence swaps standard Z3 fog lights for wider air intakes which help cool the cars big brakes. Above those intakes, traditional chrome BMW ‘kidney grilles’ hang between a pristine BMW propeller emblem and M specific free form, chrome trimmed halogen headlights. Behind those headlights, a creased hood flows toward pristine factory glass which is flanked by M specific power side mirrors and capped by either an optional body-matched hardtop or a black fabric soft top that folds into an M specific boot. Below those tops, sculpted M specific rocker sills complement M specific side gills; and wider rear fenders combine with offset rear wheels to give the car and aggressive, planted look. And at the back of the car, factory fresh tail lights frame a second BMW propeller emblem and a third chrome M badge above a re-styled rear bumper which incorporates pristine stainless exhaust tips into an M specific rear air diffuser.

Fortunately for red-blooded car guys everywhere, one pull of this roadsters hood latch is all it takes to throw the ‘all business’ subtlety of this car’s sleek exterior components right out the driver’s window. Perfectly wedged between the Dakar Yellow fenders is BMWs 3.2 liter S52 inline six cylinder engine which utilizes a cast iron block, a free flowing intake, a ported and polished aluminum cylinder head, heavy duty valve springs, finely balanced camshafts and reduced mass hardware to crank out 240 horsepower and 259 lb./ft. of torque. But wait, there’s more: at the top of that motor, you’ll find a Dinan Stage II supercharger kit which adds a cool 100 horsepower and an impressive 48 lb./ft. of torque to dial this smooth BMW six cylinders thrill factor from scary, right up to insane! Designed as a high-revving engine which utilizes a wide power band to create big horsepower with smooth driving characteristics, the S52 3.2 is widely regarded as one of the best BMW powertrains ever created. It features a host of race proven technology which seamlessly complements traditional BMW silk and smoothness to create a well-mannered roadster with excellent track capability. And based on appearance, the engine compartment in this M Roadster has been meticulously maintained with everything from the “BMW MPower” branded engine cover to the fresh hoses and spotless battery terminals showing no signs of heat damage or any weathering at all.

Naturally, a powerhouse like this car’s hot S52 needs a whole lot of top notch hardware to back it up. And accordingly, all M Roadsters were equipped with durable ZF Type C manual transmissions which feel good and perform great. That slick-shifting 5-speed sends power from a Dinan Stage II clutch to a standard limited slip differential which combines hardy 3.23 gears with M specific suspension geometry to create confident launches and quick acceleration. And the car’s excellent weight distribution combines with a Nurburgring worthy Macpherson strut front and semi trailing arm rear chassis, factory traction control, Dinan Stage III modifications, an M specific a wider track, an M specific ride height, and M specific springs and shocks to turn this already serious performer into a curve carving track monster. Stops are supplied by 12.4 inch front and 12.3 inch rear ventilated discs that are clamped by large black calipers via a standard BMW anti-lock brake system. Exhaust is handled by an aggressive sounding Dinan free flowing system which optimizes the superchargers power numbers. And the final piece of the performance upgrade package is a set of positively gorgeous 17 inch M branded RoadStar alloy wheels which wear 225/45 front and 245/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport performance radials.

Inside this slick BMW, it’s all about a symbiotic relationship between cutting edge European performance and traditional ‘old world’ luxury. At the center of the car, pleated leather buckets, which show hardly any wear at all, perfectly complement great looking stitched leather covers which wrap tightly around the cars console and sculpted armrests. Inside that console, chrome trimmed VDO gauges allow you to keep an extra close watch on the cars vitals, and an aftermarket Alpine cassette player communicates with a trunk mounted Alpine CD changer to provide the soundtrack for your weekend escape. Between the seats, a slick “M” branded shifter sits below a large, rear mounted Harmon Kardon speaker that hides under a factory equipped wind screen. And behind the seats, leather wrapped roll over bars convey a since of style and comfort that isn’t found in most drop tops. At the bottom of the cockpit, like-new black carpet is protected by color-keyed M branded floor mats and chrome M specific sill plates. And at the back of the cockpit, a fresh and exceptionally roomy trunk is big enough to accommodate luggage for two. In front of the driver, an M specific three spoke steering wheel spins around M specific chrome rimmed and red needled gauges. And throughout the interior, you’ll find the usual assortment of luxury appointments and convenience features including cruise control, power seats, power accessories, an electrochromatic rearview mirror and both front and side airbags.

The sale of this low mileage BMW includes two original window stickers, the cars original dealer paperwork, the cars original owner’s manual and warranty booklets, receipts and paperwork for the Dinan components, a chrome Dinan emblem, receipts and manuals for the Alpine sound system, random service receipts, and a clean CarFax.

Highly civilized and extremely potent, this BMW M Roadster is a no-compromises exercise in high-end German performance. Still luxurious where it matters, with serious performance upgrades underneath, it will surprise almost any exotic car on the road without degrading ride quality or driver comfort. Reliable, streetable and poised to become a future classic, this awesome yellow BMW truly is the ultimate driving machine.
