1980 MERCEDES BENZ DIESEL LINE Genuine Vintage Ad ~ 300 SD CD TD 300D 240 D
1980 Mercedes Benz Diesel Line original vintage advertisement.
DESCRIPTION:
Why choose a Diesel from a line of cars when you can choose a Mercedes-Benz from a line of Diesels?
For 1980, Mercedes-Benz builds 3 Diesel sedans, a Diesel station wagon and a Diesel coupe. 3 different Diesel engines and 2 transmissions — and no other car maker does. Such choice is only one benefit of a Diesel tradition 44 years long, and growing timelier by the day.
Take your lime as you carefully examine the unique line of Mercedes-Benz Diesels. Should it be the extraordinarily efficient four-cylinder 240 D Sedan? Or is the potent five-cylinder 300 D Sedan more to your liking? Many minds and hearts have been captured by the charm and utility of the 300 TD Station Wagon. Those with a taste for the exclusive are much taken with the limited edition 300 CD Coupe. And in a class by itself is the turbocharged performance Diesel - the 300 SD.
A delicious dilemma. Choose the one that precisely fits your needs. Then prepare to reap the engineering dividends that set Mercedes-Benz Diesels apart from all other Diesels, from all other cars.
More power for 1980
Note that those dividends are enriched for 1980. New pistons, new camshafts and improved precombustion chamber design-fitted to various engines — help give the five Mereedes-Benz Diesels a strong performance boost, without spoiling their famous fuel efficiency.
For 1980, even cold weather performance is improved. An ingenious "pin-type" start device can get a cold engine going — even on a 32°F day — in five to seven seconds, and at 5°F in about eleven seconds. Like Diesel knock and Diesel noise Diesel cold-
weather starting pains should now be a thing of the past.
Economy a thing of the present
The 1980 Mercedes-Benz 240 D Sedan is a solid 1.5-ton automobile that happens to outperform every other compact, mid-size and large car on the road today in fuel mileage as listed in the official EPA fuel economy information for 1980, published Sept. 7. 1979. Figures for every Mercedes-Benz Diesel, in fact, may seem almost too good to be true for such capable, civilized automobiles. But the fuel estimates below suggest that a car needn't be undersized or underpowered to deliver heartwarming fuel economy. It simply needs to be efficiently engineered.

Efficient performance
Each Mercedes-Benz Diesel for 1980 comes fitted with technical features that stamp it more as a performance than a mere economy car: fully independent suspension, for instance. Four-wheel disc brakes. Front and rear anti-sway bars. Gas-pressurized shock absorbers. Recirulating-ball steering.
On rain-slicked highways, on rutted back roads, in mountain
bends — that dry list comes vividly alive. Economy needn’t mean a drab driving life: first and foremost,\ a Mercedes-Benz Diesel is a driver's car.
Above all, safety
It is also a safety-conscious car. There are 120 safety features between you and the road, every one standard equipment — whether Federal law requires them or not. The fact that more than half are Mercedes-Benz requirements reflects forty-four years of fanatic devotion to the subject of safety.
Quality service: reaffirmed commitment
With every new Mercedes-Benz comes a dual commitment: to provide unparalleled engineering in its cars and to provide unparalleled service — through the unstinting efforts of over 400 authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers across the United States.
Last but not least
When you think about the Mercedes-Benz Diesel for 1980, you might do well to think ahead to 1983 and consider: historically, a three-year-old Mercedes-Benz Diesel has been shown to retain nearly 80% of its value. A resale performance no domestic luxury car can even approach.
Efficient in fuel mileage, efficient in performance, efficient even in resale value. Remarkable cars, these Diesels. Just what you’d expect from Mercedes-Benz in times like these.
