Mercedes-Benz 300 Messwagen, 1960.

Messwagen translates to ‘measuring car’ and that’s what this one-off Mercedes-Benz is. A wagon created for the purposes of collecting data on other cars.

Built in 1960, the Measuring Car is based on a Mercedes-Benz 300 chassis. It packs a 3.0-litre dual-carburetted straight-six producing 118kW. It needed all of those kilowatts to move around equipment that was simply too heavy and cumbersome to move and assemble otherwise. Despite being a unique solution to a tricky data-gathering problem, Mercedes-Benz only built O N E single example of the Messwagen. They wouldn’t build another fully in-house station wagon until 1977.

The simple statement, 'God is for us', is in truth one of the richest and weightiest utterances that the Bible contains.
