The most conservative Mercedes sought

As a friend of older original Mercedes-Benz vehicles, I wanted to ask which model (current as well as older) you think is the most conservative or classic. I would also be interested in how satisfied you are with the current design language. I personally mourn, as indicated at the beginning, the older models. I can’t start with these new, too dynamically fresh-styled vehicles. I feel the current E-Class even more a ls classic Mercedes, at least in the version “Classic” resp. “Elelgance”. I personally like the C124 very much – ideally as an original convertible of the early 90s with the ulky Karro seat covers. Unfortunately, today’s coupé and convertible models no longer wear a star on the hood, too bad.
