No, rather a Freightliner or Dodge conversion. US-spec plate holder. |

The main pic and the shot with the church are a location in Sweden (the opening scene of the episode was filmed in Stockholm). There's a white lip around the bottom of the grille, which the one that gets hit doesn't have. -- Last edit: 2013-10-28 18:23:10 |

Indeed they used two vans. There is a small additional Mercedes-Benz badge on the hood on the main picture: that one was a real Mercedes then I guess... (replaced by a Dodge for the inside scenes + crash) -- Last edit: 2013-10-28 18:23:58 |

Indeed, two different vans now that I had a closer look. I was focusing on the thumbnail showing the front view.  |

Dodge or freightliner would not have had a Mercedes grille or Mercedes star in grille. They had different grilles. -- Last edit: 2015-06-04 06:29:16 |

Thanks, I didn't know that. |

@supcoach: There's something of a cottage industry providing grilles and badges for people who want to turn their Dodge or Freightliner Sprinter into a "real" Mercedes, e.g. http://sprinterpartsdepot.com/ |

Thank you. I did not know that. Although as both Dodge and Freightliner were owned by Mercedes at the time (and Freightliner still is...) I suppose it's the prestige of the Mercedes name. A Cadillac Escalade has the name prestige but it is still a lowly Chevrolet Suburban underneath. Ah well... -- Last edit: 2015-06-04 06:29:40 |

Except that a Dodge Sprinter lacks the name prestige but is still a lordly Mercedes-Benz underneath. .gif ":)") |

2005 from CVS: Link to "www.cinemavehicles.com" |

But the main image is another van filmed on location (and the CVS van is not a Mercedes, it hasn't got a three-pointed star badge on the steering wheel). |

As said by Sandie, not for the one of the main pic, which has a different grille with "a white lip around the bottom of the grille" as noted by Gag Halfrunt. This color-keyed surround means a 2003-2006 model (See Wikipedia.de: "Beim zweiten Facelift im Herbst 2002 bekam der Kühlergrill eine in Wagenfarbe lackierte Einfassung [...]" / "With the second face-lift in Fall 2002 the grille got a body-colored frame [...]". ). ⇒ 2003 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter [T1N] |
