Factory made? Never. There was never a separate line to make stretched w126's. It was a lot easier to send them out to coach builders to have them done to the customers tastes.

Texas oil tycoon or rich saudi oil sheik.. its always one of the two that has a w126 limo... Another thing, sedans were marked as "Limo's" in Europe since they don't use the word sedan.

It's me. Mine is a modified LWB 126 by Carat-Duchatelet in Belgium. I do all my bodywork with a 4lb hammer Our bodyshop manager is a good friend of mine and can refer you to some places that know their stuff.
