Niels van Roij Design - automotive design on Instagram: "Web Find Wednesday On Web Find Wednesday we share interesting work by other coachbuilders and OEM car design studios. Welcome to the 1957 Binz. Coachbuilt on a Mercedes-Benz 300c chassis, this rare station wagon was designed by a woman of great wealth and taste to suit her sailing and society lifestyle in Palm Beach and Europe. Station wagons were so common on American roads in 1956 that they’re almost an icon of that decade; nearly every manufacturer from Nash to Cadillac offered one of these practical family vehicles in their lineup. However, the body style was almost unknown in Europe, aside from the occasional coachbuilt “shooting brake” or “estate” being manufactured in Britain on a Rolls-Royce or Wolseley chassis. What do you think of the Mercedes-Benz 300c based wagon? Info through Mercedes-Benz Club of America."
