In 1972, Mercedes-Benz introduced the W116 line, the first to be officially called the S-Class.Produced from 1972 through 1980, the W116 series featured a four-wheel independent suspension and disc brakes. The 280, 350, and 450 (4.5L version) models featured SE and SEL versions. Production of the W116 totaled 473,035 units.This was a groundbreaking sedan for Mercedes-Benz, and for the first time in the company history, the car had an obvious, blatant and outward emphasis on safety placed above a pure styling viewpoint. The overall design incorporated numerous safety features developed from the "safety researchvehicles" in the mid-to-late 1960s to the very early 1970s. These safetyfeatures were all newly introduced passenger-car "firsts" on a production vehicle: padded door trim around the windows, heavily padded steering wheel (later to be replaced by an airbag with the Mercedes-Benzabbreviation of SRS standing for the English-language term SupplementalRestraint System), more comprehensive safety padding on the dashboard and around the interior, dual asymmetric windshield wipers, headrests with a center depression to locate the occupant's head in a more central position during a rear impact, a rain-water management system to improve visibility consisting of deep channels on both sides of the windshield and flowing into deeply channeled rain gutters, including similar designs on the side mirrors, rounded body shapes along the edges, such as the tops of the front fenders, etc., designed to ameliorate pedestrian injuries, ribbed rear taillamp lenses which would remain clearer of dirt on the recessed areas, an easy-to-access first aid kit stowed in a recessed compartment on the rear parcel shelf prominently labeled with the universally recognized "cross" symbol which represents "first aid", and several other subtle safety features related to both active and passive safety. The W116 models were large luxury sedans. The W116 was larger on the outside than the W108/W109it replaced, but had similar interior capacity, as the additional bulk wasdriven by several new and aforementioned engineering developments on car safety and occupant protection in a crash. The W116 introduced other improved passive safety features into the vehicle design, including a strengthened vehicle occupant shell. It was one of the first cars to be available with ABS, a driver's airbag supplemental restraint system (but not available at thevehicle's initial launch), and the first appearance of a turbocharger for thediesel engine. The 450SE, thenthe most powerful model in the W116 lineup, was awarded European Car of the Year in 1974. At the New England Auto Show in 1972 held in the fall season in Boston, the Munroney Label (window sticker) of a 1973 450SE was right at $13,000. 1973 was the first model year of the W116 for the US market. Starting in 1975, the W116 was upgraded with a new fuel injection system to comply with revised exhaust emission standards in European markets. A slight power reduction was a result of this update, but in 1978, a series of further engine upgrades restored original performance levels under the new fuel injection systems. Large boxy rear lights of the 1970s W116, the first official "S-Class"Thisis an opportunity to purchase the final year of the THIS RARE AND VALUABLE CLASS OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY.

I WAS TERRIFIED OF SURGERY BUT TOWARD THE END REALIZED THAT THE QUALITY OF MY LIFE WAS FAST DISAPPEARING, I COMMITTED TO A 4 LEVEL SPINAL FUSION TO BE PERFORMED BY DOCTOR GREG MUNSON AND HIS TEAM AT THE THE JEWETT ORTHOPAEDIC CLINIC HERE IN ORLANDO. JEWETT IS A HIGHLY REGARDED 60 YEAR OLD SURGICAL GROUP BEST KNOWN BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ORTHOPAEDIC TEAM PHYSICIANS FOR THE ORLANDO MAGIC BASKETBALL TEAM. THE GREAT SKILL OF THIS TEAM AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD, HAVE GIVEN MY FAMILY, OUR LIVES BACK. LESS THAN A MONTH FROM THIS SIX HOUR SURGERY, I AM BEGINNING TO WALK AGAIN USING ONLY A SUPPORT BRACE FOR ADDITIONAL BACK STABILTY. THE AGONIZING PAIN IN MY BACK AND LEGS HAS ALMOST COMPLETELY VANISHED AND MY LEGS SUPPORT ME WITH NO PAIN OTHER THAN MUSCLES WHICH MUST GET BACK INTO SHAPE NOT BEING REGULARLY EXERCISED FOR YEARS. I SHARE THIS BY WAY OF EXPLAINING THE NEW LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED DURING THIS PERIOD EVEN THOUGH I I STARTED SELLING CARS AS A COLLEGE DROP OUT 1961 AND WITH MANY HELPING HANDS, BECAME A NEW CAR DEALER FOR FORD, CHEVROLET, CHRYSLER AND MITSUBISHI OVER THE NEXT 40 YEARS. I SOLD MY LAST DEALERSHIP IN 2002. I RETIRED TO BECAME THE FULL TIME CUSTODIAL PARENT FOR SARAH DANIELLE LENOCI WHO WILL NOW BE FOURTEEN YEARS OLD THIS JUNE. IF YOU ARE COUNTING, I AM 70. SARAH IS GROWING UP FAST AND ALREADY HAS IT PLOTTED OUT THAT SHE WILL NEED TO GET HER LICENSE AND A VEHICLE AT SIXTEEN SO SHE CAN HELP DAD! DEALER TRADES STARTED IN 2003 AS A USED CAR WHOLESALER THAT THROUGH 40 YEAR BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS, BEGAN ASSISTING NEW CAR FRANCHISED DEALERS TO KEEP THEIR USED CAR INVENTORIES UNDER 60 DAYS OF AGE. MANY OF THESE DEALERS HAVE BECOME PUBLIC COMPANIES WHO MUST TURNOVER THEIR USED VEHICLE INVENTORIES EVERY 60 DAYS TO PROVE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS THAT THE VALUES OF THESE INVENTORIES ARE REALISTIC, AND NOT BLOATED BY AGE OR MISTAKE. THIS MEANT THESE DEALERS HAD TO TAKE ALL OVERAGE CARS TO AUCTION WHERE THEY GENERALLY LOST THE REPAIR MONIES PUT INTO THE CAR, THE COST OF MANPOWER TIME, ALL TRUCKING COSTS AND TRANSPORT DAMAGE. PLUS AUCTION FEES, SHIPPING HOME OF ANY UNSOLD UNITS AND POSSIBLE HANKY-PANKY. I DEVELOPED A SYSTEM WHERE THE DEALERS REDUCED THESE LOSSES BY AS MUCH AS 40% BY USING LEASING ONE COMPLETE AUCTION LANE MONTHLY AT A MAJOR ORLANDO WHOLESALE AUCTION. THEN RE-DETAILING EACH CAR TO LOOK ITS BEST JUST BEFORE AUCTION AND CREATING A REAL SALE ATMOSPHERE WITH A BAND, BEER, WINGS AND HOOTER'S GIRLS. EVERYBODY LOVED IT AND IT WORKED! IT ALSO GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHERRY PICK A FEW NICE CARS EACH MONTH OUT OF THE OVER 500 UNITS THAT THESE MAJOR DEALERS WHOLESALED. HOWEVER, AS MY ILLNESS PROGRESSED, I COULD NOT DO THE EXTENSIVE TRAVEL AND COORDINATE THE TRANSPORT AND AUCTION DUTIES. IN 2008, I HAD TO GIVE UP THIS COMFORTABLE INCOME STREAM. NOW WHAT! I REALIZED THERE ARE OVER 7,500 CARS WHOLESALED EVERY WEEK THROUGH 6 AUCTIONS WITHIN 50 MILES OF MY HOME. EACH AUCTION PUBLISHES A PRE-SALE LIST OF THE CARS FOR SALE SO THAT CAR DEALERS AS FAR AWAY AS CALIFORNIA CAN FIND UNITS THEY NEED. WEEKLY, THEY COME TO FLORIDA TO BUY FROM THE HUGE VOLUME OF LATE MODELS, LEASE AND FACTORY RETURNS AND EVEN A SHARP OLDER UNIT. ALL THIS IN A GREAT PLACE FOR AN ADDITIONAL DAY OR TWO OF R&R. IT IS SAID THAT ORLANDO IS THE WHOLESALE CAR CAPITAL OF THE WORLD! WELL, ALTHOUGH I COULD NOT WALK, I COULD READ. IN 7-8 HOURS ON MY COMPUTER I COULD LOOK UP EVERY 4-9 YEAR OLD DESIRABLE MODEL WITH APPEALING, COLOR AND EQUIPMENT. THIS RESEARCH USUALLY PRODUCED A GROUP OF 60-70 CARS AND TRUCKS WITH POSSIBILITIES. THEN, USING THE SERIAL NUMBERS, I LOOKED UP THE COMPLETE VEHICLE HISTORY USING THE "AUTOCHECK AND "CARFAX" WEBSITES. I WHITTLED DOWN THE GROUP BY SELECTING ONLY ONE/TWO OWNER AUTOMOBILES, GOOD TITLE, NO ACCIDENTS, BACK UP SERVICE RECORDS VEHICLES, LOW MILEAGE AND FLORIDA OWNERSHIP HISTORY (NO RUSTED OUT NORTHERN VEHICLE CARS FROM THE USE OF SALT ON THE WINTER ROADS.) THIS FINAL GROUP IS USUALLY DOWN TO LESS THAN 15 VEHICLES. I HIRED A PART TIME SENIOR TO DRIVE ME TO THE AUCTIONS VERY EARLY ON SALE DAY. THE AUCTIONS LOAN US ONE OF THEIR CARTS TO DRIVE AROUND AND WE PHYSICALLY VIEW AND APPRAISE THE REAL VEHICLE.ARE THEY IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION?SHARP CLEAN INTERIORS? GOOD TIRE AND WHEELS?ROAD TRASH/SCRAPES?OWNERS MANUALS, BOOKS AND RECORDS IN CAR?SPECIAL EQUIPMENT?LOTS OF OPTIONS?EXCELLENT ROAD FEEL ON TEST DRIVE? THE AUCTION NUMBERS ON THE VEHICLES TELL THE OWNERSHIP AND I CONTACT THE REPRESENTATIVE TO SEE IF THE CAR CAN BE PURCHASED AT A GOOD VALUE IN COMPARISON TO THE PUBLISHED WEEKLY SALE REPORTS. ALL MAJOR AUCTIONS PUBLISH AND UPDATE DAILY ALL CURRENT SALES RESULTS ON THE INTERNET AND ON SPECIAL PHONE APPS FOR REGISTERED AUTOMOBILE DEALERS. THEN, I WATCH EACH OF THE SELECTED CARS AS THEY COME THROUGH THE BLOCK FOR BIDDING (I HAVE ALREADY COMPILED THE APPROXIMATE VALUE FROM MY AUCTION WHOLESALE APP.) I BUY AS MANY AS 4 VEHICLES ON A GREAT DAY, BUT IT USUALLY TURNS OUT TO BE 1 OR 2. I THEN PAY FOR A POST SALE INSPECTION. HERE, THE AUCTION HAS A SPECIALIST DRIVE THE CAR FOR CORRECT ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN OPERATION, CHECK THE UNDERCARRIAGE ON A LIFT FOR UNDECLARED FRAME, WATER OR RUST PROBLEMS AND GUARANTEE THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE RETURNED IF THERE IS ANY IMPEDIMENT ON THE TITLE SUCH AS POLICE, TAXI OR FACTORY BUY BACK WITHIN 2 WEEKS TIME. DEALER TRADES HAS A VERY LOW OVERHEAD! WE SUBLET ALL REPAIRS TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE THAT GIVES US A DISCOUNT ON BOTH PARTS AND THE LABOR BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS WE SUPPLY. OUR DETAIL COMPANY THEN PICKS UP THE CAR AND TAKES IT TO THE WAREHOUSE WHERE THE CAR IS CAREFULLY WASHED, THE ENTIRE EXTERIOR IS CLEANED WITH A CLAY BAR TO REMOVE ALL DIRT AND ANY FOREIGN MATERIAL ON THE PAINT. CLAY BAR IS MORE EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING, BUT IT GENTLE ON THE CLEARCOAT FINISH OF MODERN AUTOMOBILES RATHER THAN USING RUBBING COMPOUND WITH A HIGH SPEED BUFFER. THE COMPLETE INTERIOR IS CLEANED AND SWEPT OUT. THE SEATS, CARPETS, CONSOLE, DASH AND VENT PANELS ARE ALL SHAMPOOED. ALL GLASS IS CLEANED USING ENVIRONMENTLY SAFE PRODUCTS. THE EXTERIOR IS THEN POLISHED USING REAL CARNUBA WAX AND ECO-PRODUCT TO DETAIL THE TRIM, WHEELS AND TIRES. OUR WAREHOUSE IS NOT FANCY BUT RATHER LEASED FOR SECURITY AND LARGE ENCLOSED AREA TO SAFELY STORE THE AUTOMOBILES. WE SELL ALMOST 90% THROUGH EBAY AND OTHER ON LINE MERCHANDIZERS SO THERE IS NO HUGE NEWSPAPER AND TV ADVERTISING BUDGET. EACH VEHICLE IS DRIVEN OUT TO MY HOME WHERE I PERSONALLY DRIVE THE CAR AND TAKE AS MANY AS 90 PICTURES SO THAT YOU GET A COMPLETE PRESENTATION OF THE CONDITION FROM EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE. OFTEN, WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALER, THE SALESMAN DOES NOTHING MORE THAN PRESSURE YOU TO "BUY NOW!" "BUY NOW!" BUY NOW!" AND HAS A READY MADE STORY TO CONVINCE YOU TO ACT IMMEDIATELY! THE REAL RUSH IS THAT HE WANTS TO EARN A COMMISSION AND DOES NOT WANT YOU TO LOOK AROUND AND COMPARISON SHOP. WE GIVE YOU ALL THE FACTS AND DETAIL. YOU HAVE UP TO 10 DAYS TO REVIEW EVERY PICTURE, COMPARE THE VALUE AND TO CHECK TO SEE HOW MUCH MORE YOUR LOCAL DEALER HAS TO CHARGE BECAUSE OF COMMISSIONS AND THAT MILLION DOLLAR FACILITY AND SHOWROOM OVERHEAD. WE HAVE NO COMMISSION. THERE IS MICHAEL, THE PART TIME SENIOR WHO ASSISTS ME, SARAH, MY THIRTEEN YEAR OLD, AND SWEET TEA, HER DALMATION DOG AND ME.

In 1972, Mercedes-Benz introduced the W116 line, the first to be officially called the S-Class.
Produced from 1972 through 1980, the W116 series featured a four-wheel independent suspension and disc brakes. The 280, 350, and 450 (4.5L version) models featured SE and SEL versions. Production of the W116 totaled 473,035 units.
This was a groundbreaking sedan for Mercedes-Benz, and for the first time in the company history, the car had an obvious, blatant and outward emphasis on safety placed above a pure styling viewpoint. The overall design incorporated numerous safety features developed from the "safety research
vehicles" in the mid-to-late 1960s to the very early 1970s. These safety
features were all newly introduced passenger-car "firsts" on a production vehicle: padded door trim around the windows, heavily padded steering wheel (later to be replaced by an airbag with the Mercedes-Benz
abbreviation of SRS standing for the English-language term Supplemental
Restraint System), more comprehensive safety padding on the dashboard and around the interior, dual asymmetric windshield wipers, headrests with a center depression to locate the occupant's head in a more central position during a rear impact, a rain-water management system to improve visibility consisting of deep channels on both sides of the windshield and flowing into deeply channeled rain gutters, including similar designs on the side mirrors, rounded body shapes along the edges, such as the tops of the front fenders, etc., designed to ameliorate pedestrian injuries, ribbed rear taillamp lenses which would remain clearer of dirt on the recessed areas, an easy-to-access first aid kit stowed in a recessed compartment on the rear parcel shelf prominently labeled with the universally recognized "cross" symbol which represents "first aid", and several other subtle safety features related to both active and passive safety. The W116 models were large luxury sedans. The W116 was larger on the outside than the W108/W109
it replaced, but had similar interior capacity, as the additional bulk was
driven by several new and aforementioned engineering developments on car safety and occupant protection in a crash. The W116 introduced other improved passive safety features into the vehicle design, including a strengthened vehicle occupant shell. It was one of the first cars to be available with ABS, a driver's airbag supplemental restraint system (but not available at the
vehicle's initial launch), and the first appearance of a turbocharger for the
diesel engine. The 450SE, then
the most powerful model in the W116 lineup, was awarded European Car of the Year in 1974. At the New England Auto Show in 1972 held in the fall season in Boston, the Munroney Label (window sticker) of a 1973 450SE was right at $13,000. 1973 was the first model year of the W116 for the US market. Starting in 1975, the W116 was upgraded with a new fuel injection system to comply with revised exhaust emission standards in European markets. A slight power reduction was a result of this update, but in 1978, a series of further engine upgrades restored original performance levels under the new fuel injection systems.
Large boxy rear lights of the 1970s W116, the first official "S-Class"This
