Default How do you tell if you have a long body s class?

How do you tell if you have a long body s class? I have a 1995 s320 & want to know how I can tell if it is a long body or regular body. It seems huge but I would like to confirm...

For that year /model, if you really do have a W140, long wheel base chassis, your VIN and chassis numbers will have W140 included in the numbering.

It would say so on the data plates, wouldn't it?

Some of them came in short wheelbases. The S320 and S420 had short wheelbase US versions. I believe the S500 and S600 was only long wheelbase here.

Sometimes it's hard to tell since they got rid of the old lettering system that let you know off the bat whether it's long wheelbase or short without ever having to see the actual car.
