I think officially they were marketed only as model names like every
other MB until the advent of the /8 Strichacht w114/w115 in 1968.
S-Class wasn't used until the the w116 and the silly notion of

Start with the linkages to the acuator...are they all attached, smooth (very)

Is the actuator splugged in? Are the contacts clean? (De-oxit for this)

There were several models that were nick-named Pontons. They included
the 180/190s (W120/121) that dated from '53 thru the early '60s (I owned
a '54 180 with a flat head 4 cylinder 52 hp engine for about a year).

Chris, yours was probably the most useful suggestion - I was driving it
yesterday and had the lights light come on the dash. Replaced both brake
lights today, I'll give it a spin later and find out if that cured it. If
not ... more work.
