The 1961 introduced W110 was Mercedes-Benz's standard line of mid-size automobiles for much of the 1960s. As part of Mercedes' unified platform of "Fintail" (German: Heckflosse) models – first introduced as a six-cylinder Mercedes W111 in 1959 – the W110 followed in April 1961,[4] initially available with either 1.9 L M121 gasoline or 2.0 L OM621 diesel inline-four engines. The W110 was introduced as the 190c and 190Dc sedans, replacing the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db.
The W110 line was refreshed in July 1965 to become the petrol 200 and diesel 200D (model year 1966 for North America). At the same time, the straight-six engined Mercedes W111 model 220 was replaced by a 230. Production of the W110 lasted just three more years, wuntil the W114 '220' and W115 '220D' introduced in 1968.
The Mercedes-Benz W110 and the six-cylinder W111 were the first series of Mercedes cars to be extensively crash tested for occupant safety.
