Mercedes-Benz 220 D Pickup (W 115, 1973)
The Mercedes-Benz 220 D Pickup is a rare special version of the “Stroke Eight” model series. This predecessor of today’s E-Class became Mercedes-Benz’s first million-seller. The versatile platform truck, an ancestor of the new Mercedes-Benz X-Class, was based on a “chassis for special bodies”, such as ambulances, estate cars and hearses. One bodybuilder converted it into the exhibited pickup, which was used for many years by Stuttgarter Strassenbahnen AG as a service vehicle for the lubrication of rail points. In the 1970s, similar “Stroke Eight” pickups with single or double cabs were even produced directly at Mercedes-Benz’s Argentinian plant in González Catán in the greater Buenos Aires area. These, too, were based on the chassis for special bodies, which was supplied as a CKD (completely knocked down) kit from Stuttgart. At Classic Days Schloss Dyck, this unusual vehicle also recalls the anniversary of the W 114 and W 115 “Stroke Eight” model series, which made their debut in 1968, i.e. 50 years ago.
