I can across this picture as was wondering if this ugly kombi/wagon had a bit more history about it.
It looks like VW-Mercedes-BMW got together, after a night on the delighting tasting substance called beer and produced this W108.
I wonder if the W108 has a type 3 motor in the back as the text is relating to looking through the 4th window.

Anyone got any more info on this freak child?

i think thats wild. i'd be seen in that anytime especially if it was LOW.

from the background i'd say it's someones modern custom though.

Someone wanted a merc wagon & built one.

I don't think it's "coachbuilt". As a rule when something is coachbuilt, it's fabricated. They don't just graft on parts of other cars.

Very well done though. I wouldn't mind seeing photos of the whole thing to see how seamless it is.

Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
