The Mercedes-Benz 600 was first introduced in 1963. The short wheel base (SWB) models were meant to be owner driven, and the long wheel base (LWB) commonly incorporated a central divider with a power window and were meant to be chauffeur-driven.
A full generation after it was built, the Mercedes-Benz 600 remains an engineering and stylistic masterpiece, as exclusive and visually imposing as ever. In its day, it was a favorite of the world’s wealthy and well-connected, used by everyone from Elvis Presley to the Pope. The Star and Laurel were impressively represented with the ultimate “Grand Mercedes.” This noble car was built to be peerless in performance while incorporating every conceivable feature important to passenger comfort and safety. It was, in period, the ultimate automobile in luxury, elegance and technical perfection; designed for the elite among the world’s most discriminating and influential people.
