About the Mercedes 220 S W111 Blue Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast reproduces the 1965 Mercedes 220 S W111 fintail sedan in blue, with opening doors and hood over a zinc alloy body. The W111's distinctive tailfins marked a design trend Mercedes embraced only briefly before moving to cleaner lines.
The fintail Mercedes sedans borrowed a styling cue more associated with 1950s American cars, applying it briefly and tastefully before the brand shifted toward the cleaner, more restrained shapes that would define its later 1960s and 1970s models.
Opening Panels on a Fintail-Era Sedan
This casting includes functioning doors and hood, giving access to a cabin styled after Mercedes' growing middle-class luxury ambitions of the early 1960s, a genuine step up in comfort from the brand's more utilitarian postwar models. Zinc alloy construction gives the model real weight, and diecast tooling holds the W111's distinctive rear tailfins with correct, symmetrical proportion, a detail easy to get wrong if tooling tolerances run loose. The blue finish carries an even, period-correct depth, and the chrome trim along the beltline and fins is rendered with the crispness a formal 1960s sedan calls for.
A Design-Transition Anchor for Classic Mercedes Collecting
For a Mercedes shelf built around design evolution, the W111 fintail marks a brief but distinctive chapter before the brand's styling matured into the cleaner W108 and W114 generations that followed. At roughly 24-25cm, it holds a standard 1960s sedan footprint, and displaying it beside a 190 SL roadster or a later W123 sedan traces a genuinely coherent line through Mercedes' mid-century design history.
