The company car of the highly decorated fireman
Only the highly decorated fire chief German big-city professional fire brigades once came to enjoy the "stroke eighth"! The sedan was also in the fire department as reliable, some fire departments acquired from the limitation of the municipal budget often used vehicles to repaint them to provide for the fire department. The success of the W114 and W115 series has been impressively documented to this day. The comfortable entry-level sedan reached almost the same number of pieces after the 1967 show with around two million units as all other post-war cars combined! WIKING miniaturized the Mercedes-Benz 200/8 early on and realized the first generation with smooth round lights, which disappeared after the facelift in 1973.
