1954 welcomed in the 300SL "Gullwing", a Mercedes classic. The Mercedes 300SL was initially offered as a two-seat sports car and featured fuel-injection, a single overhead camshaft, a four-speed manual transmission, and of course, gullwing doors. One of Mercedes' most talked about models, the 600, would appear in 1963. The 600 was classified as a full-size limousine and featured a power glass partition that could be employed between the front and rear seats. It was favored by many Hollywood-types for its exclusive presence. Also debuting in 1963 was the W113 Pagoda S Class. Although the '60s showcased Mercedes' strengths, the company would see a slowdown. The oil crisis had dug its heels in on the auto industry hitting manufacturers across the board, even Mercedes, despite the success of the 350SL and the introduction of the 450SEL 6.9, a sporty, high-performing version of the S Class. Mercedes rolled out the G Class in 1979, a rugged crossover wagon assembled for militaristic utility but available as a consumer vehicle.Image via Wikipedia
The 1980s helped restore Mercedes back to the top of the luxury heap. It was also a decade in which safety innovations such as traction control and airbags were introduced by the brand, setting an industry standard. The midsize E Class premiered in 1984 and was designed to present a comfy ride along with superior durability. 1993 is when Mercedes ushered in the C Class, a vehicle heavy on refinement offered as a sedan or wagon (it is currently also available as a hatchback). The CLK Class rolled off the line a few years later, followed by the sporty SLK Class in 1997. Mercedes entered into the luxury SUV segment with the M Class, a midsize that has been one of the automaker's biggest sellers. The M Class is now joined by the GL Class and the GLK Class when it comes to representing Mercedes' fleet of SUVs. The company also introduced the Mercedez-Benz BlueZERO, its series of hybrid vehicles in 2007 at the New York International Auto Show. A gradual launch of different hybrid models is expected over the next few years, not counting the S400 BlueHYBRID, which became available in 2009. Image via Wikipedia
