It’s unusual enough to find an early 60’s Mercedes wagon in the states so to find this custom coach built wagon is extremely rare. Hess & Eisenhardt were perhaps the best know of the U.S coach builders and for the Germans it was Binz GmbH & Co who are still in business today. There is little know of the history of this wagon but based on receipts the seller determined that it resided in British Columbia until the early 1980’s when it was moved to Sacramento, California. Needing a full restoration, the Mercedes has a $20,000 BIN on Ebay.
This wagon is based on the 190D and was a pretty unusual build in that it was intended for private use. Most of the conversions were for service vehicles or limousine conversions. One wonders if the original owner was in a profession where he needed the extra height that this wagon affords for transporting his goods; perhaps a salesman making a good impression!

Makes a Rambler look handsome.
