The Car Behind This Bag
1963 · 3.0L M189 fuel-injected six · Sindelfingen · W112 chassis · designed by Paul Bracq
By 1963 the W112 300SE Coupe had settled into its role as the quietest expensive car in Europe. Paul Bracq's body had no fins, no chrome flourishes, and no obvious successor in the Mercedes range — just a long, flat roofline and a cabin that moved on air suspension whether the road agreed or not. The fuel-injected M189 six produced 170 horsepower and was almost inaudible at cruising speed.
This was the car you bought when a 300SL Roadster felt too much like a statement. Foreign ministers used them. The Vatican kept several. In Germany the 300SE Coupe became a kind of unofficial uniform for the generation of industrialists who had rebuilt their companies through the 1950s and now wanted something quieter than a Rolls-Royce and faster than the Adenauer 300. The interior was trimmed in wool broadcloth or full leather over deep walnut.
Mercedes built fewer than 2,500 coupes and cabriolets across the entire W112 run from 1962 to 1967. The coupes are the rarer of the two body styles, and the ones with their original Sindelfingen-fitted interiors are now considered by Mercedes-Benz Classic to be among the most carefully built cars the factory ever produced.
