Well I suppose you've just answered your own question haven't you?
I was attempting to ignore their sport cars via my 'passenger car' proviso. Nor can I speak for the trucks
But to be absolutely technical it seems that the first fuel injected Mercedes Benz car might be the W10 Mannheim 380 (Diesel ) of 1933
I found this pic today and I had to share it with you..
Quite an heavy car to fly with. Nice one.
Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.
Yes a consultant for Ghia, was also partly resonsible for the Fiat 2300S Coupe(Exner had previously designed the successful Volvo P1800 for Ghia and was also involved in the design of the Karmann-Ghia.) The Caravelle is certainly not an American design. It follows the classic Italian designs of the late 1950s which, interestingly enough, Exner (an American) deeply influenced at the time. Exner worked on the design for the Caravelle during the latter part of 1959
