What is old MB in Bates Motel?
Has anyone been able to identify the old Benz in the new A&E show Bates Motel? I keep trying but no success yet.
Modern day prequel to Psycho....very good, very creepy.

I think when I caught a glimpse of the badging in the opener, it's either a 350 or 450 SE (L?).

I also think its a 280se....I think that is the only thing keeping me watching the show....it is very strange.....and I can't understand why it is set in modern times when psycho was filmed in 1960 and this is suppose to be prior to the movie psycho....but yet they are driving vintage cars.....I like being human better...

My guess is a 69 SEL, and it's got the 4.5L motor according to the trunk badge...
W108/109 apparently... 67-72 models similar ![]() the 6.9 is a SCREAMER in that body...

Norma Bates Mercedes Benz
I want to say the car is a 1972 280 SE or SEL or even a 300 Sel. It does have the 4.5 L V8. So thats my thinking. Nice car .

I've noticed in the last several episodes that the sound of a 617 diesel is used in the sound track. What was the reason to apply sound to a car that would not normally make any noise?
