I seem to recall it being a 420SEL. I doubt it's a diesel since I didn't see any smoke or clattering sounds (like most older diesels) - so I'd say it's a 300SEL, 420SEL or 560SEL. Let's go with a 420SEL (since that was the most common in the states).
fintail ◊ 2006-08-08 05:02	I think I recall it being a 560 SEL. 500SEL in W126 form was only sold in the US through 85, and this is a 86+ model, so it can't be a 500. -- Last edit: 2006-08-08 05:03:22
G-MANN ◊ 2007-08-15 22:04	I love the entrance of this car (and the character driving it). As Chet Ripley (John Candy) and his family arrive at the holiday cabin in the forest (in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer also listed for this film), we see clips of a shiny new (in 1988) Mercedes S-Class speeding along the country roads towards the forest, accompanied by jazzy saxophone music. Then it pulls up in front of the cabin, the vanity plate ROMAN 1 fills the screen and out steps Chet's brash yuppie brother-in-law Roman Craig (Dan Aykroyd) who has come, uninvited, to join them on their vacation, with his wife (Annette Bening in an early film role) and his two weird twin daughters. During an arguement later on in the film between the two men, Roman declares "I'm the one with the Mercedes!" "Is it paid for?" retorts Chet. It is later revealed that in fact it isn't (or rather Roman is broke). -- Last edit: 2011-03-22 22:06:03
fleetwood75 ◊ 2010-07-11 22:10	My Mom had a white 1987 560 SEL that she bought in '89 shortly after we'd bought this film on VHS & I remember I used to drive it up & down our lane pretending I was Dan Aykroyd, I'd have my Ray-Ban Aviator shades on as well as Sade's (Sharday's) "Smooth Operator" in the cassette deck & I'd drive along twiddling my thumbs on the steering wheel like Dan Aykroyd, My Mom also had an early Motorola anolog "Brick" cell phones like Dan Aykroyd had also.

It is later revealed that in fact it isn't (or at least Roman can't actually afford that car). I like when people explain to me how the car is related to the movie
G-MANN ◊ 2011-03-22 22:08	I've never understood what the idea is behind these headlights that US market Mercedes from this era have (the plastic overlays with square holes). Can someone explain? -- Last edit: 2011-03-22 22:11:30
gwest111 ◊ 2013-08-28 03:21	Great movie! After watching this as a child I named our Shih Tzu puppy Roman.
moviecarkevin ◊ 2014-10-29 02:18	it's a 500 sel. Not a 560. the trunk lid is clearly visible in some scenes.
moviecarkevin ◊ 2014-10-29 02:26	G-MANN a écrit I've never understood what the idea is behind these headlights that US market Mercedes from this era have (the plastic overlays with square holes). Can someone explain? I'm not understanding your question. 1986 they did go to composite headlights, but still look like sealed beam models. The euro spec lights are much more preferred by everyone.
Sandie ◊ 2014-10-29 02:29	It's either a 1986+ model with a fake 500 badge or a 1985 or earlier 500 SEL with changed lights and rims then...
rjluna2 ◊ 2014-10-29 02:36	G-MANN a écrit I've never understood what the idea is behind these headlights that US market Mercedes from this era have (the plastic overlays with square holes). Can someone explain? I think this composite headlight is part of the headlight assembly that is part of the parking/turn signal lights. I guess they wanted to flush with the assembly to cheat the wind coefficent See at the second generation Ford Explorer headlight assembly.
G-MANN ◊ 2016-12-14 01:01	Saw this the other night on ITV4 in HD. The boot lid badge is seen at the end of the film, it's 560SEL, 100% certain. Moviecarkevin was wrong.
chicomarx ◊ 2016-12-14 03:26	G-MANN a écrit Moviecarkevin was wrong. The legend crumbles.
