The 1999 S-Class
"Grand Edition"


"Grand Edition" Added Package
The "Grand Edition" pays tribute to the Mercedes-Benz Series 140 S-Class the flagship sedan of the Mercedes-Benz model lineup since the 1992 model year. A special group of features, including some not previously available on the S-Class, form this unique package for a limited number of l999 S500.

All 1999 S500 "Grand Edition" models include:

Exterior
Obsidian Black Metallic Exterior Paint
Mercedes-Benz' blackest black was chosen to enhance the distinctiveness of the "Grand Edition."

AMG Monoblock 8.5" x 18" Wheels
An inch wider and two inches larger in diameter than the S500's standard 7.5" x 16" wheels, these special AMG units add to the "Grand Edition's" bold appearance.

255/45 ZR tires
Compared to the S500's standard 235/60 ZR 16 all-season tires, these low profile performance tires add to the "Grand Edition's" aggressiveness and improved handling.

Interior

Seating
Front and rear contoured coupe-style seats, similar to those found in CL-Class, enhance "Grand Edition's" exclusivity.

Premium Parchment Leather
Premium leather chosen from Mercedes-Benz' designer accessories department in Germany lends to the distinct interior of the "Grand Edition."

Black Artfine Wood Trim
This unique trim, which is not available in other Mercedes-Benz models in North America, uses an exclusive blend of European birch and maple woods.

Black Artfine Wood/Leather Steering Wheel
Matching the Premium Parchment Leather and Black Artline wood trim, the "Grand Edition's" steering wheel helps to set a tone of uniqueness.

Exclusive Carpeted Floor Mats
Specially designed floor mats feature an embroidered "Grand Edition" insignia.

Illuminated Door Sills
Greeting occupants entering the "Grand Edition," the illuminated Mercedes-Benz name indicates that this is a special automobile.

Electric Rear Sunshade
Standard with the "Grand Edition" package, this popular S-Class option reduces the sun's warming effects, adding to the comfort of rear-seat passengers while maintaining the driver's visibility to the rear.

Rear Side-Windows Sunshades
Raising these sunshades reduces heat and glare from the sun for rear-seat occupants, while maintaining the driver's visibility to either side.

Integrated CD Changer
This popular S500 option is included in the "Grand Edition" to raise the level of travel enjoyment.

Portable Mobile Telephone
A convenience and a safety provision, this telephone is another S500 option included as standard in the "Grand Edition."






That's it folks.... Enjoy!

1992 S 600 w140
discrepancy

1992 S600 W140 ... doesn't seem to be listed or rather is listed as 1992 W140 600 SEL. I have actually seen vehicles with the 600 SEL badges However I believe my vehicle is a 1992 Phase 1 W140 series with S 600 badge. Where the 600SEL badge was then afterwards utilized for the phase 2 and on until 1994.
I am wondering how many of these vehilces there may be the in the U.S.. I have been looking on-line to see if I might find a simiular one to get a more realistic value for my car. I haven't had much luck aside from seeing a few ads, with only two actualy having the S 600 badge and priced at about 4K and the other at about 12K. Being in California this vehicle will provide an opportunity to apply for registration as a classic in about 1 year when it will be 25 years old and a vehicle of very significant value in it's technology and the foundation of the 8 year run for this series of MB
