Long-wheelbase Benzes have a long and proud history, having been owned by such icons of cool as John Lennon and Hugh Hefner, as well as infamous villains like Pol Pot, “Baby Doc” Duvalier and Jeremy Clarkson.

In fact, something about this picture indicates that vehicular size inflation is not completely a thing of the past… can you spot it?
