Playboy magazine set the tone for a generation of American men and no one was more instrumental in its success than founding editor Hugh Hefner.

But did you know that the "Hef" was a real car enthusiast? He also had a thing for the six-door 600 Pullman, the car of Popes and heads of state as well as hyper rich celebrities like John Lennon and Jack Nicholson. Hef owned two 600 Pullmans, a 1969 and a 1971 and both are now for sale in New Zealand. The cars themselves represented the then state-of-the-luxury-car-art at the time, equipped as they were with full audio/video multimedia systems as well as all available Mercedes-Benz amenities.

It's not about the car itself, it's just a very rare collector's car. Only 428 of those made in the entire life of the vehicle, and he owned two.

John Lennon had one, and a few other well known celebrities. This was like the Maybach of the 70s.

"If I were Hefner I would also get rid of those unreliable pieces of junk and buy an LS600h for example, the epitome of luxury."


Oh God, not another one of these idiots. Or is it the same old idiot?

Don't forget that the engine is from 1969 and 1971! We all know there something wrong with everything! Why is that so many Lexus fan boys never realize that?

A guy in my city owns one of these!
The hydraulic suspensions were usually down, but a few months ago, he must have driven the vehicle because the rear end of the vehicle was raised so high that I thought he "pimped" his car!
