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 remains the largest passenger car produced in the post-war period.

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-Benz 600. The “Grand Mercedes” debuted at the Internationale Automobil-Austellung (IAA) 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 folding 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 rear of the classic Pullman, two rows of seats are arranged. In the long six-door version, a middle row of folding seats could be chosen. It was intended for clients traveling with staff or bodyguards.

The vehicles were powered by a fuel-injected 6.3-liter V8 engine with 250 HP. This 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, air conditioning, hydraulically adjustable seats, hydraulic windows, and sunroofs. For interior decoration, customers could choose from various finishes with noble wood, premium velvet, or leather upholstery. At the rear, there was also a bar with a refrigerator, a car phone, and a retractable 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 represented class in itself.

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