Pictures Old MB brochures

[mercpassion]

I recently came across this brilliant site which is a database of numerous scans of classic Mercedes car brochures from the 1900s - 1990's..credit to its owner for putting together such a vast database of these classic brochures, which are extremely valuable to any MB fan..I have always been very eager to get hold of classic MB literature, and with this, it is just at the fingertips.. I think it will be more useful to our German reading friends as there is loads of content in German..

Thanks @mercpassion Always great, these old brochures. Look at the amount of colour options in the 70ies... wish we had those possibilities to choose from today.

You're welcome @Mick Briesgau, yes it is always quite fascinating to see the evolution of not only the Cars themselves but also the literature. There is some beautiful literature of the eras bygone where the whole brochures have a nice period feel to them in there vocabulary and presentational style..plus you are very lucky as you could read the material in German, only if I could lol..

The W140 brochure states the most critical factors to the S-Class buyer are: Quality of manufacture, Reliability, Durability, Prestige, Safety Features and Retained value. That is what every Mercedes should aspire too. Cars like the 1998 ML, and today's CLA/A/GLA/B Classes simply don't. It can't be denied. Mercedes used to be so steeped in tradition. My goodness.

Thanks @mercpassion this is simply amazing reading. I could go all day and read all the old model details and specs. The quality of the brochures pictures, sketches and cutaways is fantastic.

Glad everyone is enjoying reading these brochures from MB's golden era..just as a courtesy of goodwill I think it would be nice if some of us drop the owner of the site a quick message so as to acknowledge his hard work putting all this together..I have done so and he seemed a nice bloke plus he is from the NL region so any fellow Netherlanders can say hello in your language..
