This is a car that hails from the great tradition of German craftsmanship, all mated to a fantastic V8 engine. Introduced in 1963, the Mercedes-Benz 600 was the ultimate combination of automotive luxury and technology at the highest level. The four-door Pullman limousine is one of the chauffeur-driven vehicles with a long wheelbase. These make the exclusive character of the type 600 particularly radiant.
Queen Elisabeth II and Prince Philip visit to Berlin Wall in the Potsdamer Platz West Germany in an open 1965 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman limousine car. On May 27, 1965, the Queen Elizabeth II came to West Berlin for the first time, on a state visit. Here, she passes by the Brandenburg Gate, still cut off by the Berlin Wall at the time. More than a million people line the streets to cheer on the British monarch. She is greeted with the same enthusisam as US President John F. Kennedy two years previously.
1965 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Landaulet W100. Otherwise known as the W100, it is an elite line of ultra-luxury cars produced by the German marque between 1963 and 1981. In simple words, the 600 was a predecessor of the latest Maybach range and it was the most expensive model sold by the brand during its time. Replacing the W189 limo, the Mercedes-Benz 600 used pneumatic self-leveling suspension and it was offered in two variants: a short wheelbase four-door sedan and a long-wheelbase four-door Pullman limousine. The 600 series was owned by the richest of the riches and the world-renowned celebrities in the ’60s and ’70s. In modern-day standards, the 600 Landaulet is considered as rare pieces of art and only 59 units were manufactured back in the day.
