Mercedes-Benz 600
The Mercedes-Benz 600 (W100) is a single-generation of full-size ultra-luxury limousines, made by Daimler-Benz from 1963 through 1981. Nicknamed the Grosser (Grand/Large) Mercedes after its 1930s counterpart, the Mercedes 770. It was positioned well above the subsequent 300-series in price, amenities, and status. At its launch in 1963, the Mercedes 600 was the most expensive car in the world. Its few lesser adversaries included British and American marques such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Cadillac and Lincoln's top model lines. Despite its age, the Mercedes 600 remains costly to own and maintain. It is widely regarded by automotive historians and enthusiasts as the greatest luxury automobile ever produced.
