    Well, not a real pick-up truck, it's clear from the picture that this used to be a station wagon at one point, but still odd nonetheless. I was only able to grab one picture of it and wanted to share.

    Enjoy.

    hah thats a curious choice to hack up for truck duty. though self leveling rear suspension might be nice


    maybe a throw back to the old 60s benz car based pickups

    And if the inside of the bed is still carpeted and trimmed with leather.

    It looks more like a flower car transformation that was not done properly... These kind of "Pick ups" are very common in Europe...

    I don't think it is neither one of those. Comanche and P'up didn't have the 3rd brake light flush with the body work on the roof.

    the cab itself is interesting. It is clear that the doors are still the original benz doors. even the roofline above the doors is the same. So all that really got welded on is the rear of the cab+glass.

    I'm not entirely positive but I think the rear window came from a Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon.
