Looking for a late 60s or early 70s Benz limo. Anybody know of a place that rents one out. Looking to rent something classic for my wedding. Thanks.

Cool idea. Do you have a more specific idea of what Benz you're after? A 600 is the classic popes/kings/despots huge MB if that era. Might be hard to get one as a rental, even with a driver, ans the cost per mile to maintain those dwarfs even a Rolls.

A 280SEL type sedan could probably be found for this, but that's only a limo in the sense that it's a vintage long wheelbase S class.

Apart from the 600, limos really weren't a Benz thing back then. Now if you were after a Miami Vice 80s theme, that'd be easy. Those W126 (like my old silver one) often got stretched, and usually with a real Scarface kind of aesthetics.

Since I'm delivering a wagon-load of vintage Benz parts to SoCal this weekend, I have connections with that scene- but it would sure help if you had some pics of exactly the type of Benz you're wanting.
