The Mercedes-Benz Fintail, known in German as the 'Heckflosse,' refers to a distinctive series of luxury cars produced from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. These models are famed for their iconic rear tailfins which blend American styling influences with classic German engineering. Covering several chassis designations like the W110, W111, and W112, the Fintail generation marked an evolution in safety, comfort, and performance within Mercedes-Benz's lineup. Today, the Fintail remains a beloved classic, illustrating the blend of elegance and innovation characteristic of post-war automotive design.
