Its debatable, but I just love the 300 S/Sc/Adenauer.

The 600 (W100) was indisputably the finest car in the world at the time of it's debut - it might not have been a traditional coachbuilt car like the 300's or Rolls-Royce Phantom V, but it was still built [as you know Ray] to the highest standards possible and was technically superior (and far more sophisticated) than any other car in the world at the time.
1963 Mercedes-Benz 600

Yes the 600 was the finest in the world, for the heads of states, but techically speaking it was still a barbarian in many ways compared to the Citroen DS.
And ofcourse, there was also a very fine Rover P6, also tecnicaly superior in many ways, but that in another class.
600 was in a class of its own, untouchable even by MB newer cars.
Sorry being so late on this tread.
