If you are in the US, the 420 was not offered in short form. You can tell by looking at the inside of the rear doors. If the speaker and ashtray are stacked on top of each other, you have a short wheelbase. If the are offset - the speaker is more towards the front of the car compared to the ashtray, you have a long wheelbase.

Here are a couple of pictures for comparison.

One of the most weirdly named threads in a while.

also. the rear passenger window is narrower givien the car a shorter look. after u see the difference between a swb and a lwb, u can identify them in 2 seconds from afar.

The only SWB V8 W140 sold in the US was the 1992 400SE
