Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL silver green US TV-Version - 1979 1:18

Released in 1972, the internally named W116 model series represented the pinnacle of automotive engineering. No competitor model combined as many attributes as the S-Class for the 1970s. With the introduction of the 6.9 litre engine in 1975, the saloon achieved driving performance that was otherwise reserved for pure sports cars.

This model is the S-Class used by oil tycoon J.R. Ewing in the third season of the extremely popular and successful TV series "Dallas". In addition to the typical US bumpers and headlights, the silver-green model is also adorned with the correct licence plate.
