Great Points by all! what a knowledeable bunch! I've heard strong viewpoints I have never heard before!

especially the one where Mercedes still survived when making smaller cars and also taxi's
Mercedes made them where they did not look the same outwardly though, a 190 was nothing like a 300 or 600

nearly everyone could tell a 1937 115 sedan from a Super 8 or 12 sedan though when new

I use to frown upon the 110's , 115's, and 120's until I owned and drove them, some drive better than the senior cars due to more advanced suspensions

in 1940 and 1941/2 Packards indeed did get to begin looking more similar

the 47 clippers, 49 bathtubs, and 1951's sure ALL looked very similar..... it is sometimes hard to tell a 1951-52 200 deluxe apart from a Patrician!
