CREEPY ABANDONED 1963 MERCEDES W110 190! – FIREBALL MALIBU VLOG 656 – Fireball and Kathie take a tiny 6-mile stroll into Malibu and spot mega-celebrity mansions, cool cars and this creepy abandoned 1963 Mercedes W110 190. Yes, abandoned in Malibu.

From WIKI… The Mercedes W110 was Mercedes-Benz’s entry level line of midsize automobiles in the mid-1960s. One of Mercedes’ “Fintail” (German: Heckflosse) series, the W110 initially was available with either a 1.9 L M121 gasoline or diesel inline-four.

It was introduced with the 190c and 190Dc sedans in April, 1961, replacing the Mercedes W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db.

The Mercedes W110 line was refreshed in July, 1965 to become the 200 and Diesel 200D (model year 1966 for North America); at the same time, a six-cylinder 230 (successor to the Mercedes 220) became part of the Mercedes W110 line.

Production lasted just three more years, with the W115 220 and 220D introduced in 1968. The Mercedes W110 and the 6-cylinder Mercedes W111 were the first series of Mercedes cars to be extensively crash tested for occupant safety.

The Mercedes 190c and 190Dc replaced the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db as Mercedes-Benz’s line of less-expensive four-cylinder sedans. The “D” denoted a Diesel engine, a technology pioneered by Mercedes-Benz and championed despite widespread derision in the motoring press.

The body was derived from the W111 series but with a 145 mm shorter nose and round headlights (which gave a front-end appearance more reminiscent of the W120/121 ponton models).

The rear end was identical to the W111 220b (the 220b was the base model of the W111 series). The interior layout and dimensions were also identical to the W111 220b, but with fewer options such as fixed-back seats and bakelite trim on the dashboard (as opposed to timber in the Mercedes W111 models).

Because the 190c and 190Dc models were basically a W111 220b with a shorter front, they offered the same interior and luggage space as the W111 series but with smaller and more fuel efficient engines.

This made them extremely popular with taxi drivers. Production of the 190Dc exceeded that of the petrol-engined 190c by nearly 100,000 units.
