W100 The Grand Mercedes 600 (W100)


The Mercedes-Benz 600 (factory code "W100") is a single-generation line of full-size ultra-luxury limousines and Pullman limousines, made by Daimler-Benz from 1963 through 1981. Nicknamed Der Grosser (Grand/Large Mercedes), succeeded the Type 300d "Adenauer" as the company's flagship model. It was positioned well above the subsequent 300-series in price, amenities, and status. It was mainly used by heads of states and Royalty. When launched in 1963, the Mercedes 600 was the most expensive car in the world. Its few competitors included British and American marques such as Rolls-Royce, Cadillac and Lincoln's top model lines. Though very costly, it's hydraulic mechanisms were ground breaking and has not been seen in any other car to this day. The Mercedes 600 still remains to be a very expensive car to own and maintain even today.
That hugely long boot/trunk looks more in proportion on the Pullman version.

I love the Landaulets

The best car Mercedes has ever made. I got to ride in a short wheel base one many many years ago, my dads brother looked at buying one, he ended up buying a Daimler Limousine instead.

The 600 and 600 Pullman was the ultimate luxury vehicle of the 60's. I remember seeing so many videos and pics of politicians and influential leaders been driven around in one of these.

It looked so majestic and stately and a little sinister in black
