W113 Assembly Line films
« on: August 03, 2016, 13:26:26 »
I know it's been a wish and dream, but are there any films that were taken of our w113's being assembled?  I realize Mercedes has always been secretive, but they show the assembly of their newer cars on you tube. Maybe one of our officials could put in a request for our club. It would so helpful to all of us

...I realize Mercedes has always been secretive...

Mercedes-Benz has, inarguably, the most extensive collection of photos, stories, videos, press releases and more. It's all online and all available to qualified journalists. While this may not be everything they have (such as blueprints/plans for parts, etc. that would be proprietary) they do indeed have a collection that few other companies offer, and none comes close to the breadth and depth.

Such films are (unfortunately) rare; I too wish there would be more :)
