The History of Coachbuilt Mercedes Station Wagons | 427 History

With any luck I haven't muddled the German pronunciation too badly...
427 explores the history of the station wagon, or estate car under the Mercedes Benz marque before the factory began offering their own Kombis in 1978
We take a look at Lueg, Binz, Miesen, IMA Universals, Crayford and more

Great that you included the Adenauer estates.

Incredibly well researched. I've tried to research myself on this matter so I know how little is out there on the internets, that's why I'm so impressed you have gathered so much information that I didn't know beforehand. You should continue writing about cars and doing more films like this, you definitely have a knack for it.

Thank you Ingvar, that means a lot!

Very comprehensive overview, mostly accurate and complete. I am a Mercedes Binz, Universal & Crayford wagon owner and quite knowledgeable in those cars. If you plan to make any future videos on that subject in particular, let me know. I will give you additional photo or video content and feedback if needed.

[@427Motorsports]

Thank you Chris! I may well take you up on that!

Great research! I´ve just acquired a W111 230s estate in Portugal built by the Movauto factory near Lisbon. Gorgeous curved back window in a similar style to the coune conversion that you've showed

Austin Maxi tailgate + Mercedes boot lid = Crayford tailgate....converted a 108 250 SE into a ute 30 years ago.....still have it! Great vid! .....how about one on the utes?

[@427Motorsports]

That's a great idea! We have a lot of love for the pickups! I bet your 108 is one of the most comfortable pickups ever!
