The Mercedes-Benz W126 was technically the 2nd generation of S-Class and lasted for a remarkable 12 year production run (1979-1991), a record since Mercedes started building their flagship mega-sedans in the early 1960s. The best one to get was always the flagship long wheel base huge-engine variant and the later models will be better equipped -- so this 1990 560SEL is pretty much the premium of the primos.
Check out that rear legroom? You could comfortably cruise from Hollywood to Las Vegas with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Yao Ming in the back of this thing.
The white exterior paint won't be to the liking of every car enthusiast but I feel the big Mercs look good in simple solid colors, so this one gets a pass, but the interior color (saddle, camel, gold, whatever you call it) is really nice.
