The W108 is an exceptionally significant car. Soon after the release of the 250 S/SE, they started to become popular with doctors and other professionals. In the USA, this marked the transfer of many members of the professional classes from Cadillacs and Lincoln’s to German luxury sedans - and they never returned. A 108 is a very practical, spacious and sure handling car. Driving one is an interesting mix for period charm and surprisingly modern dynamics. The interior is both austere and yet luxurious, reflecting quality materials throughout. Anyone interested in cars really ought to have one at some point in their life. I had a 250 S years ago and have had a 280 SE in my collection for 20 years.
Great video. I have got 108 250s. I wanted to renovate it. Unfortunately, parts are not available where i leave. Any leads of where i can find it's body parts highly appreciated.
What a beautiful car, excellent video. It really made me miss my old w108 280s from '68, a car that undoubtedly marked me for life.

Echt een leuke video om te kijken, heerlijk Nederlands nuchter bij 7:19
The small triangle window is called a quarter window. A very common feature on cars of this era. 👍

That’s the ride that was the Beginning of the End for Cadillac & Lincoln’s domestic rein as luxury leaders. And they never recovered.
