1965 Mercedes 600 Pullman

The Mercedes-Benz 600 was a high-end luxury sedan offered in several variants worldwide. Introduced in September 1963, its few competitors included certain models of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, the Cadillac Fleetwood 75, stretched Lincoln Continental Lehmann-Peterson, and the Chrysler Imperial Crown Ghia.

Generally, the short-wheel-base (SWB) 600 models were designed to be owner-driven; the long-wheel-base (LWB) 600, often incorporating a central divider with power window, was intended as chauffeur-driven.

Analogous to today's S 600, the 600 was the company's flagship and most expensive model of its time, positioned above the Mercedes-Benz W112. It is also known as the forerunner of the modern Maybach marque.

Production began in 1964 and continued through to 1981. During this time, production totalled 2,677 units, comprising 2,190 Saloons, 304 Pullmans, 124 6-door Pullmans and 59 Landaulets.

This is one of several Swedish Royal limousines. The registration number is from the old system, where the letter A signified Stockholm city, and the lowest numbers were reserved for the royalty.

Gärdesloppet, or Prince Bertil Memorial

Prince Bertil Memorial takes place each year in Stockholm, Sweden, in honour of Prince Bertil, uncle to Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf. The Prince was a race-car driver in the 1930s, using the pseudonym "Monsieur Adrian" to placate his disapproving father, later King Gustaf VI Adolf. Prince Bertil continued to act in the monarchy's best interests by forgoing marriage to his British girlfriend, Lilian Craig. Under Swedish law, which has since been changed, such a union with a commoner would have rendered him ineligible to serve as regent, should the need have arisen, to Carl Gustaf, son of Prince Bertil's deceased older brother. The Prince finally married the patient Lilian in 1976, three years after nephew Carl Gustaf was safely on the throne.
