Mercedes-Benz 280 Hearse Model History
During the 1960s and 1970s, Mercedes-Benz chassis such as the W114 and W116 platforms were frequently selected by specialist coachbuilders to create hearses, ambulances and ceremonial vehicles. Valued for their durability, smooth six-cylinder engines and dignified styling, these Mercedes-Benz conversions became a benchmark for professional-use vehicles worldwide. Today, surviving hearses from this era are increasingly collectible, appreciated for their craftsmanship, rarity and unique place in automotive and social history.
