Mercedes-Benz 600
(1963 - 1981)
Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 600 by year
The "big Mercedes", or today the S-Class, has always been a glimpse of the future of the automobile. If you want to know what will be installed in the mid-size class in five years' time, and a little later in small cars too, all you have to do is take a look at the latest generation of the S-Class. In 1963, the magazine 'hobby' did just that and tested the "big Mercedes", but also looked back at its predecessors before the war. This article reproduces the wording of the test report at the time and shows the Mercedes-Benz 600 and its predecessors in many historical pictures.

Mercedes 600 - FOR "BIG" PEOPLE
Daimler-Benz has always had a vehicle in its sales program that was intended for emperors and kings, industrialists and film stars. The last such car before the war was the "Grosser Mercedes", which was built for German party leaders until 1943. After the war, the Mercedes-Benz 600 followed this tradition and was indeed a "Grand Mercedes". Several thousand units were built over a long period of time, providing heads of state, politicians and the rich and beautiful of the world with a vehicle to drive. Production was only discontinued in 1981.
From 1964 to 1981, Mercedes-Benz produced the top-of-the-range 600 saloon primarily for heads of state, diplomats and prominent (and wealthy) people for whom only the best was good enough. Launched in 1963, the "Grand Mercedes" was brimming with innovative technology and luxury comfort. Even 50 years later, its qualities are still impressive. This driving report describes the Mercedes-Benz 600 and shows it in over 120 current and historical photos and illustrations as well as in the contemporary sales brochure.
