Wonder if this means we'll be seeing them things until 2050? The ones built in 2025 will still be on the road for years to come.

The G wagon is like the classic Jeep, you will see them driving around and probably still being made by someone 50-75 years from now.

I'm with you on the 600. The Maybach is great but it could have been so much better.

The flag holders really make the car.

I would need a long garage for a 600, the LWB W126's are bad enough!

This was when the engineers had a heavy hand in design and German build logic. The classic was the outside mirror adjustment. The passenger side was electrical but the driver side had a manual lever to adjust the mirror. The logic behind it was why do you need and electric motor when the lever is 6" away from your hand. Also no cup holders because the car was meant to be driven and not be used as a 4 wheel cafateria
Thanks. This is the post I was looking for. I actually am starting to take an interest in 560SEL's

yeah, my 84 500sel was truly amazing. but no one will ever build such a heavy, gas guzzling car again (at least not for mass production)

also, my 108 had better handling (kingpin)
