Mercedes-Benz 770 K or Grosser Mercedes (“Big Mercedes”) was the flagship of the German brand’s lineup in the 30s. In total, only 107 such cars were produced from 1930 to 1944. The last German Kaiser Wilhelm II, Japanese Emperor Hirohito, Finnish Marshal Carl Gustav Mannerheim, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Pope Pius XI rode on them.
This particular Mercedes 770 K was carrying three monarchs at once. This convertible with a body from the Voll & Ruhrbeck studio was produced for King Faisal I of Iraq. Later, the chariot was used by his successors Ghazi I and Faisal II.
In 1966, Mercedes-Benz was purchased for the museum at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was frequently used for driver parades at the Formula 1 Grand Prix. In 2007 the car was restored.
