The Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3, manufactured from 1968 to 1971, served as the brand’s flagship model during this period.

I have to admit that I have a unique taste in cars. While most people are generally drawn to sleek, high-powered sports cars, I’ve always been fascinated with boxy cars that happen to usually be low on power but have tons of storage space. Station wagons, SUVs, even minivans are my thing. Weird, right? It’s not to say I don’t appreciate performers such as Nissan Skylines, Shelby Mustangs, or anything from the Mercedes-AMG collection, but I prefer wagons, hatchbacks and anything with a sliding door instead. I grew up during the dawn of the Japanese tuner car movement in the ’90s, and those like myself who grew up in those times appreciate slammed, right-hand-drive JDM rides. I had the opportunity to acquire a car that was right up my “love-forquirky-boxy-car”…
