60's and older grille dimensions?
Anyone have a 60's and older stand up type MB grille that they can measure ( rough dims are fine. )
I've got an extended project and may use a MB grille rather than the homemade one. Thanks |
Recycling this to the top.

Would the dims from a '62 Finny be useful? If so, I can measure mine for you.
|
Yep, that's the one I was thinking of, thanks. I had one of those type cars 35 years ago but didn't think to measure it.
To help others, the 1970 ish and up 220 / 240 type cars are supposedly 14" tall and 31" wide. |

This is what I was looking for , thanks.

Old thread but the w110/111/121 sedans are the same size. Early w108 6cyl is a bit shorter and the v8 cars are a little lower and wider than the 6cyl. I can measure if your still wondering, I've got them all.

I ended up getting a 60's grill that supposedly came from an unknown year V8 MB ( with round stacked headlights like the pic in post 5 ). It looks like it will work but if there is a wider one I could be interested in finding one. ( The seller seemed to be OK until he started talking about seeing UFOs and mini big foot so I didn't stick around long enough to press him for the exact model. . . )
If you are up to it, posting the dims would help others in the future. |
That would be a w108 280se 3.5 or 4.5 most likely(68-72). If it's a w111 coupe or convertible 280se 3.5 its probably pretty valuable. Although they may have just adapted the w108 grill to the w111 with a different hood. I'm curious what your building now though. I've been thinking about building a traditional 50-60s style open fender hot rod out of my 60 190b basket case and a m117 or maybe m119 if I can't stuff it in my w111. And use a w111/121 grill shell of course.
