You need the vin to know what it is. AFAIK MB never made any factory limo's. I don't even know if they made any Guard W126's.

Except for the 600 series.

nothing personal, i think your great and all, but you dont know much about mercedeses, if you drive one doesnt really mean you know all about one bro, its companies that took brand new benzez and made them into limo's but benz sold them as thier own.

But didn't you just answer your question. If it is shipped as a Mercedes to another factory, then it is not Mercedes factory built, just like Cadillac and Lincoln have other manufacturers build limos from their cars. Looks pretty simple too me, and I only drive one also.

true but there were also factory ones i heard about, nothing can be compared to factory made one though, you understand me?

Wasn't the Pullman a factory limo? Certainly not as long as modern limos, but pretty long. And extremely expensive, both to buy new and to maintain.

Looks good. Its possible they made them, I really dont know for sure, one look underneath should be able to tell you though, whether parts were factory made for the stretch section or fabricated. What is its VIN? That should be a clue as well.

Well then its not factory. That would be an aftermarket limo, so I was correct.

AMG was aftermarket until what date? Lets test YOUR knowledge.

Don't pick a MB fight with me friend, I have been doing this a long time, and have owned more than whats in my sig.

Without the vin this thread is useless because we don't know anything about that car.

Yes the Pullman was a factory limo, they made those until 83 I beleive.

I beleive they made W140 guard cars and slightly stretched versions of that, but I am not sure of the W126. John has a nice W126 limo but its was done by who a Dutchlet(sp?)
