Signature Models 1/18 1938 Mercedes Benz 770 K Cabriolet Pullman Black (18135/B)
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 centimetres to 6 meters in length, its wheelbase was 3.88 meters. Since its debut in the autumn of 1930 at the Paris Automobile Show, the sensational appointments 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 armour 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 litre engine, boosting the motor's output to 230 horsepower. By 1938, the supercharger had become standard equipment and could produce a top speed of 170 kilometres per hour; however, the armoured versions were limited to 80 km/h because of the bullet proof cell-type tires.
