Guten Tag! :D

Developed as an able competitor to the likes of Rolls-Royce, the Mercedes-Benz 600, also known as the Pullman or the Grosser, proved itself to be a technical tour de force during its 17-year lifetime, with its innovative use of hydraulics and superb marriage to a sublime 6.3L V8 engine, making for one of the most desirable cars ever built.

However, this desirability would make the car a must-have part of the motoring collection for celebrities and heads of state all across the globe, and from Beverly Hills to Bangui, the Mercedes-Benz 600 would be a staple of affluent automobiles, and a true statement of wealth, even if said wealth was garnered through unscrupulous means.
