Someone please take the chrome away from the designers

Um......I would call that slightly over done.

Not sure what's actually under there, but the front end appears to be from an early '60s Imperial.

"...a combination of two Eighties Mercedes-Benz W123 station wagons and a 1962 Imperial front end placed atop a tri-axle chassis with a dually axle in the center of the car and a Chevrolet truck front axle mounted at the rear, steering opposite the front wheels. A Mercedes-Benz turbodiesel engine powers the 29-foot laden limousine."

Must be more than just Mercedes going on on the sides.

Looks to be some almost Ford like tail fins rising up just behind the front door & then ending about half way back, followed by another duplicate fin running all the way to the rear.

What a Frankenstein!
