Stolen from Fb...

I feel like this image will be polarizing, but I love it.

UPDATE: Holy hell, i think it might be real! Some of the details are different (some missing chrome pieces, wing mirrors vs pillar mounts, etc), but the wheels and stance are the same!

@nth256 Beautiful! Seriously if it looks good from the other angles that's a really great job.

@nth256
Can't hate it. It looks too good.

I think it looks great. I wonder if it is real and someone grafted the Mercedes-Benz W108 front end onto a pickup.

Ya, there is an Instagram account called CarFrontSwaps, this may be one of theirs. They do a really convincing photoshop of a lot of cars...

@nth256 A Toyota Stout and W111 marriage. I assume a 'shop, but both can be found relatively cheap even now, so it could exist if someone had the free time and motivation.

No, that's an absolute winner. Would drive that all the livelong day.

To echo everyone, that looks fantastic, would drive every day

@joekaz - Aaaaaand off i go to instagram. Thank you!

[nth256]

@fintail - I assumed the pickup portion would be a Ford for some reason. I didn't know the Toyota Stout existed.

[nth256]

@ttyymmnn - I really expected more hate; I'm glad to see I found a winner!

[fintail]

@nth256 Yep, they were even sold on this side of the pond for a short while. I spotted this one in the wild many years ago:

And even I don't hate it - lots of old MBs are still rotting away and won't be saved, no doubt the same for Stouts. Might as well put the metal to use.

@nth256 0 bids? Surprising. If I had the money I'd bid on that for sure.

Tangentially related but Karl Middelhauve who is basically the leading expert on Mercedes 600s has actually converted a pair of them into UTEs

[nth256]

@theturbochargedsquirrel - These are gorgeous.
