Car Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Limousine with sunroof, 1963-1981

The Mercedes-Benz 600, also known as W100, was the most advanced vehicle created by Daimler-Benz in the 1960s and 1970s. This stylish vehicle was used worldwide by and for the upper echelons. It embodied perfection, advanced technology, comfort, exclusivity, and uniqueness. The Pullman was, and still is, the largest post-war passenger car.

In addition to state-sponsored use, international celebrities from the worlds of politics, business, aristocracy, and show business also chose to own and drive a Mercedes 600. The “Grand Mercedes” debuted at the Internationale Automobil-Austellung (IAA) trade fair in Frankfurt in September 1963. Several editions were offered, including the Pullman Limousine, Pullman Sedan, and Pullman Landaulet.

The four-door sedan is nearly two meters wide and 5.54 meters long, while the six-door Pullman Saloon measures 6.24 meters in length. The third version is the open Pullman Landaulet. It features a fixed roof over the driver/chauffeur’s area at the front and a foldable roof over the passenger compartment at the rear. There were two versions of the Landaulet: one with a long rear hood and another with a short one.

At the back of the classic Pullman, two rows of seats are arranged. In the long six-door version, a middle row of foldable seats could be chosen. It was intended for clients traveling with staff or bodyguards.

The vehicles were powered by a fuel-injected V8 engine with a capacity of 6.3 liters and 250 HP. Thus, the limousine weighing 2.6 tons could reach speeds of up to 205 km/h. During its peak popularity, the 600 Pullman was the fastest mass-produced sedan in the world.

The comfort of the vehicles was enhanced by pneumatic suspension, an advanced hydraulic power steering system, electrically adjustable heating and ventilation systems, air conditioning, hydraulically adjustable seats, hydraulic windows, and sunroofs. For interior decoration, clients could choose from various finishes with noble wood, premium velour, or leather. The rear also featured a bar with a refrigerator, a car phone, and a sliding partition.
Thanks to this luxurious car, Daimler-Benz made a loud splash among the international elite, and for decades, the 600 Pullman was a benchmark that set the standard for class itself.

CMC will offer a precise metal replica of the six-door Pullman 600 limousine with a sunroof in 2020, and the new model will feature an unprecedented level of intricate details and authenticity to do justice to this truly iconic vehicle.
