Mercedes 600 Pullman: Pic Of The Week

Perhaps the coolest big saloon that ever there's been, squeezed into a new desktop wallpaper

It says a lot about PistonHeads that of all the cars featured in our recent gallery of supercars, it was this Mercedes saloon that drew the most admiring comments. To those of you wanted it as Pic Of The Week, here you go!

As mentioned in the forum discussion, for a car whose reputation was built on intimidation and a long list of tyrannical owners, it appears far less scary than it may once have. In fact it appears quite elegant, the classy proportions and gleaming chromework making for a very stylish saloon. With tints as dark as this though, there's clearly still a hint of menace to it!

Presumably waiting to collect someone important in central London, the Pullman looks perfectly placed. It should make for a great wallpaper too. Maybe we'll send Tom out looking for more classic barges in future...
