I'd go along with you if you included the 108/109SEL as #1.
Myself I personally consider that #1 too but was just basing my comment
on cars that are actually called S class.

Why not agree with Mercedes? There was a Finnie S (300SE) and a Ponton S

Makes sense, the Super class couldn't exist until they had a
proper compression engine for it. Maybe that's why the MBUSA
link mentioned the year 1978 for the

No, it said the 116 was the first to be CALLED the S Class.

I know the term S-class was commonplace (or at least became commonplace)
sometime during the lifetime of the 126, though I don't
it's real revisionist. to my mind, the first S-class as such was the W116
the 108s and 109s are just gussied up finless finbacks

Is it true that the S in S class stands for snob (or was it scheisse)?

I agree with the factory. I am not as familiar with the 187, but there
were definitely S models with the same distinction then as now. S has had
two concurrent meanings of years in reference to MB models.
S as in Sport 300SL, 190SL, SLK 230, 170S
S as in Super 220S, 220Sa, 220Sb, 300SE
Yours is the 6th.
