I've got an ad out of a magazine from 12/79 for the 1980 model line. The tag line is the "Engineered like no other car in the world" but the "title" is "Why choose a Diesel from a line of cars when you can choose a Mercedes-Benz from a line of Diesels?" followed by "For 1980 Mercedes-Benz makes three different sedans, a station wagon, a coupe, three engines and two transmissions. And offers 44 years of Diesel experience."

Pretty cool!
