130rapid ◊ 2020-08-11 13:01	Please, don't hesitate. I see 1974 W114/W115, no more.

The conversion with panoramic glass as well as the W116 update were carried out by Karosseriewerk Rappold of Wülfrath - just like the one below with standard sideglass. I strongly suppose the car had already been repainted back then.
130rapid ◊ 2020-08-11 13:42	The additional roof's part seems pretty high.
Animatronixx ◊ 2020-08-11 13:55	That's because this is a conversion for two coffins incl. floral decorations to be carried side by side, which is not uncommon around Hamburg. Here is the same type of all-steel-body on W123 chassis.
