If you are interested in owning a Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman head of state car, don’t miss the auction event organized by RM Sotheby, taking place on 19-20th January in Arizona, USA.
At this auction, RM Sotheby will find a new owner for a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman.
From the provided images, it is evident that this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman is in pristine condition, shining like new.
This luxury car features a glossy black exterior and elegant beige leather interior.
Furthermore, the auctioned Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman comes with a unique Sony TV console and Panasonic sound system housed in the central armrest.
The Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman was considered a more luxurious model compared to its predecessor, the current S-Class. Its production spanned from 1963 to 1981.
During this timeframe, Daimler Group produced a total of 2,677 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman cars. The majority of these cars were of the standard wheelbase version, with only 428 belonging to the long wheelbase version.
Out of the long wheelbase version, there were only 304 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman cars with 4 doors instead of 6. As a result, the 1968 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman being auctioned, with its extended wheelbase and 4 doors, is considered a rare gem and highly sought after by collectors.
Even in its standard wheelbase version, the Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman weighs a substantial 3,334 kg. This weight exceeds that of the current long wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom by a significant margin.
To handle this weight, the Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman is equipped with a 6.3-liter V8 engine, capable of producing up to 245 horsepower.
Additionally, the Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman boasts an air suspension system, ensuring a smooth and luxurious ride for its passengers.
