A peek at the AUTOart Signature Series Mercedes 600 Pullman

Here's a little peek at the gem of my collection (along with another limo to follow)

The Mercedes 600 Pullman by AUTOart Signature Series

MERCEDES BENZ 600 BY AUTOART 1:43 SCALE

 Produced from 1964 to 1972, the Mercedes Benz 600 came in several versions with either short wheelbase or long wheelbase versions. Heads of State favored the long wheelbase versions in either the Pullman 4 door or 6 door limousine models.

 When I was a little boy, my grandfather had the 250S model which looked similar on the outside but was most certainly, not as luxurious as the 600. Despite this, I remember that the 250 was a really comfortable and powerful ride. To this day I regret not being able to save this car before it was sent off to the junkyard. I would have wanted to restore and keep it as a classic.

 This model by Autoart is a short wheelbase one and as such, is designed to be owner driven. What is nice about this model is the attention to detail that went into it including the color of the upholstery and the faces of the gauges.

I gather that this attention to detail is a result of the fact that Autoart has a presence in Germany and can be accessed via http://www.autoartmodels.de/
