W100 The Grand Mercedes 600 (W100)

[450SEL6.9]

The earlier 1960s cars are prettier to me. Those are some nice old-world style properties in the brochure pictures. Today, they'd be perfectly candidates for a rap video.

600 Landaulet.

My Dad isn't really a car guy, but he's always said this was one of his favorite cars.

I've never seen an aerial view of the 600 - at least I don't remember seeing it. The front looks like the nose of the mid-1990s Formula One car! Thanks, Rob

Awsome.

Great pics and great articles guys.. MB should have indeed revived the 600.
This would have done wonders for the brands images as a whole.

The 600 is old now but it is still a very noble car. For DaimlerChrysler, the Maybach is supposed to be the 21st century answer to the "Grand Mercedes" ....and it is also an incredible car.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Did you guys see these cars on x-men? Both the 600 and maybach looked great!

Crap movie though.

I knowww, the first was reaaly good, the second excellent. But this one had complete disregard for the real X-men story. And Rogue was still completely useless.

Not sure how well the Wolverine spin off is going to work.

Here is mine. Sadly, I have yet to drive it as it is with Karl Middlehauve being overhauled (no, not in the MTV way!). This was taken while still at the GA showroom before going to Karl in PA.

Here is one from outside the showroom (and the one that sold me on the car when I saw it on eBay).

Here is the interior. I had the curtains replaced as they were tattered. As I found out after Karl had ordered them...they are not cheap, at least not he OEM ones--$2,700 later! Ugh! I should have asked first.

Here is a shot of the tattered curtains.

It's hard to keep up with all these forums. I wish I had more time. I tend to hang around mbnz.org, rennlist.org and m-100.cc (1985 300 CDT, 1997 993 Turbo, and 1972 600 SWB, repectively).

Sorry for being so inactive here, however, I received a PM from Rob requesting I post some pictures of my W100. You can read my contributions on the above mentioned forums using the same ID: dbtk, if you wish.

 

[LaArtist]

[SDNR]

Thanks. I live in on the water in San Francisco on the Embarcadero. Here is a view from my humble residence.

[wltsm]

You live in a very nice place, and have three nice cars!

Which would be your most favourite car?
