1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL
Anywhere you see 1980s culture and styling, you will see a classic Mercedes-Benz model. In the 1980s, no car said you made it more than the 450 SEL. The 1974 450 SEL was the pinnacle of everything that Mercedes-Benz did well, and it showed. The quality of the 450 SEL was something that’s still hard to come by today (via Autoblog).
The 450 SEL had a great interior with high-quality leather and upholstery. The factory V8 engine was comparable to American luxury sedans at the time although the Mercedes had a considerably higher price tag. The car was $17,500 new and by today’s standards, that’s a whopping $93,500. Still, this Benz had a good run on Miami Vice.
