The Mercedes-Benz W142 (other name: Type 320) is a German passenger car that was first introduced to the public in 1937. Serial production took place in 1937-1942. During its production, about 7,000 copies of this car were produced, of which 1,800 were built specifically for the needs of the German armed forces.
The W142 model was originally developed as a civilian limousine to replace the Mercedes-Benz W18 model (other name: Type 290). It differed from its predecessor, first of all, in a slightly changed style, in the use of other engines with a larger displacement, as well as in dimensions, which were enlarged to increase passenger comfort. In total, four generations of this model were created during serial production, while the third and fourth generations in particular clearly differed in style from the previous two, had a clearly reinforced structure and slightly changed engines (fourth generation). These two generations of cars were built mainly for the needs of the German armed forces as staff cars. It is worth adding that also many cars of generations I and II were confiscated with the outbreak of war and also served as staff cars. Regardless of the version, Mercedes-Benz W142 cars served on almost all fronts of World War II from the very beginning, until the surrender of Berlin in May 1945.
