Apocalyptic MB

I don't have a flickr account etc., so I'll have to post a thumbnail. When the end comes, what better choice than a W123 limo?

From an ad for the new Mad Max movie.

Some possibilities are:

Any MB on a ML frame. ( Apparently the ML is the only recent MB on a frame save the G wagon. )

Use a 4 matic car, push the rear sub frame away from the body with blocks, push the front suspension down, use u joints on the driveshafts to compensate for the lift.
