Pulled to the Limits of Taste

The Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman is an iconic car - one of the most expensive and lavish cars of it's time. It's a shame to see even one of the 2,677 made between 1964 and 1981 end up as the neoclassic disaster pictured below.

This particular car was made by the firm "B+B Auto Exclusive" in 1980 for King Khalid of Saudi Arabia.  And if you think it couldn't get any uglier, the king originally requested a paint job consisting of a red base covered with white dots. The neoclassic design partially hid the large footboards, made so that security guards could hang off the side of the car.
