On arrival in 1964, there were few who would argue with the Mercedes-Benz 600 being the best luxury car in the world.
It offered sumptuous seating and space in its elegantly restrained cabin, while driving comfort was assured thanks to its standard air suspension that kept the big Mercedes level no matter how uneven the road was.
A vacuum system powered the door locks and windows, while a 6.3-litre V8 meant the 600 could hit 127mph on the unrestricted motorways and autobahns.
The 18ft (5.49m) long standard 600 saloon was more than enough for most buyers, but you could order the outrageous 20ft (6.1m) Pullman as the ultimate in luxury travel taken a step further.
