1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 SWB, 47th Street and Vanderbilt Avenue



Spotted this big chap parked up outside the offices of JPMorgan (formerly the Bear Stearns building) in midtown. I spoke briefly with the chauffeur, and while not inclined to disclose much about the owner, he did say that his staff referred to the car as 'the guillotine' due to the vigorousness with which the hydraulically operated trunk lid closes.
