I remember (barely) a Road and Track article on the115 - I think it was in 1975 when the 300D 617 came out, where they described the car as "the most over-engineered 1955 Chevy" ever.
And I remember when the square line (114/115 body) came out. Everyone was outraged at the shorter grill & the inferior quality of the interior! It just wasn't a Mercedes anymore! Now we collect these & rave about the quality & Mercedes craftsmanship, don't we?
