a 1938 Mercedes-Benz 770K Pullman Limousine

The 1938 Mercedes Benz 770 SK Pullman limo was the first Grand Mercedes to feature an oval tubular frame, independent suspension and hydraulic brakes.  This evolutionary 770 was stretched 40 centimeters to 6 meters in length, its wheelbase was 3.88 meters, and its width was increased 23 cm to a respectable 2.07 meters.  Since its debut in the autumn of 1930 at the Paris Automobile Show, the sensational fittings and exquisite finish helped the 770 to find itself in the fleets of many aristocratic courts and government leaders around the world.  It was big and sold for big money (the price was equivalent to that of a single-family home in Germany).  When equipped with armor plating (a much requested option as those who rode inside became less popular), the vehicle weighed as much as 4,800 kilograms, which required a supercharger to be added to the straight-eight 7.6 liter engine, boosting the motor's output to 200 horsepower.  By 1938, the supercharger' had become standard equipment and could produce a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour; however, the armored versions were limited to 80 km/h because of the bulletproof cell-type tires.
