MERCEDES BENZ G4 (W31) 1934 - 1939
MERCEDES BENZ G4 (W31) (1934 - 1939) Description & History: The G4 was a very rare release, having been marketed as an update of the previously launched G1. Designed at the request of the German army, this elegant 6-wheeled off-roader was produced in only 57 units, many of which no longer exist. The car used an elongated box-section frame that allowed for generous interior room with comfortable seating for up to 7. Seating was provided by two benches (front and rear) and one middle-placed row of seats with separate arm rests. The car was a beauty incorporating several technological advancements such as suspension system comprising three rigid axles mated to semi-elliptical leaf-springs. Only three entirely original G4 cars are know to exist today with one belonging to the Spanish royal family.
