This is the 1936 Mercedes-Benz 260D W138 Pullman Landaulet Berlin Taxi top open and back closed black/grey in 1:43 scale by Esval.
The 1936 Mercedes-Benz 260D W138 Pullman Landaulet stands out as the world’s first mass-produced diesel passenger car, setting a historic precedent in automotive engineering. Powered by a 2.6-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, it offered superior fuel efficiency and remarkable durability at a time when gasoline engines dominated. The Pullman Landaulet variant added a luxurious chauffeur-driven layout with a convertible rear section, making it especially popular among dignitaries and officials. Its combination of innovation, elegance, and utility helped establish diesel power as a practical and prestigious alternative—long before it became widespread.
