This is not a rare car by all means and that is why I made the first pic cropped so.
(According to wiki, more than 440,000 units were built from early 70's to 1980)

Let me show more.
Should be easier now?
If this is still too hard, just speak up. I noticed you guys could guess all the previous cars right so quick that I think there are many real car nuts here.

OK.
If the A-pillar and the rear view side mirror are not enough, let me show some more.

Click the image to see a high resolution pic. It might say ''adult content'' but it is not. Not sure why Imgur makes such a warning.

I knew the ribbed tail light
Yes, the tail light definitely was a decisive feature. Insta knew it was a Mercedes, just had to remember the model.

It is Mercedes W116 S-Class!
My childhood dream car.
I can relate to that. As a kid from the 80s, my dream car was my friend's dad BMW 750i V12 from the mid-late 80s.

Damn, good work @GuilleAcoustic
Thank you Sir !

Well, here is my entry ... another dream car from my childhood (my age is visible so it gives a hint 🙃 )

Damn, I thought it wouldn't be that obvious 🤣

James Bond (Roger Moore) 's cars are usually memorable

Saab 900?
Kudos to you! That is quick! It is, indeed.

900 Turbo to be exact as I think only the turbo version has that side vent.

This was one of 007's car as well. I read it a few times in the novels. James nicknamed it ''Silver Beast''. 2.0 L inline 4 engine with intercooled turbo...good enough to beat up the bad guys in those days.

Even though not extremely popular in the US I worked for a couple years next to a Saab shop and saw these daily.
