Mercedes-Benz first started offering the prestigious-looking variant in this model series as a “series-production vehicle” in 1965. Having said that, the tradition of offering exclusive limousines with the Pullman name goes back even further at Mercedes-Benz: Three special-design examples of the model 300 in Pullman dimensions, referred to in the vernacular as the “Adenauer Mercedes,” were made in 1960. And following on from the W 100 model series, in subsequent years there were Pullman versions of the S-Class 109 and 126 model series (special production) as well as the 140 and 220 (both standard production).
The 1964 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Limousine was a luxury limousine that was first introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt International Auto Show. It was Mercedes-Benz’s first V-8 engine and the first “Grosser,” or grand Mercedes, since the 770K before the war. The 600 Pullman was designed to compete with the Rolls-Royce Phantom V.
Production of the 600 Pullman began in 1964 and continued until 1981, with a total of 304 units produced.
