Exiv96 ◊ 2016-02-27 21:17	Unusual round lights. Was it sold in the USA ?

For the round headlights, I don't know. Could be a rather early one, anyway they started as LP608 in 1965 (6 metric tonnes GW, 80 HP engine), made in Wörth, DE

Ingo ◊ 2016-02-28 11:18	looks very backlot-ish.
Ddey65 ◊ 2016-03-01 06:09	Either way, they have existed in the USA. /vehicle_89485-Mercedes-Benz-LP-LP65-1965.html
