And now, we have mostly soulless boxes…

Llama 🦙 :

It feels like we went backwards and beautiful design

porschex3 :

The original was crushed in 1967. This reproduction was created by Mercedes in 2002, and required over 6,000 engineering hours. Jay Leno has a similar one, though his has a Mercedes truck engine

Adam :

we really should go back to this design style from the 40s to 60s. instead of the lookalike cars we have now

Rico :

Truck is sicker than the car.

nowayjo2 :

Mercedes used to be a fantastic brand. What happened to them?

Sonofaskipper :

Sitting that far ahead of the front wheels must’ve felt wild.

Now is 2026 :

It’s a repro the original doesn’t exist anymore.
