A G-thang

Come back with us (and Daimler-Benz) to 1979, the year of Sandinistas, Skylab, the Susan B. Anthony dollar and, oh yeah, the Iran Hostage Crisis. Thirty years ago this month, Mercedes introduced the G-class and damn if they haven't been building those boxes ever since. The company has re-released a number of images of the original vehicle, the 460 series. Enjoy.

Now, get to work on your mustache.

One truly capable and mighty vehicle. Especially the ones with diesel and manual transmission. Sad the people driving those around in hollywood or other rich suburbs have no clue about this legends capabilities
