It was a Mercedes Benz 600. Only 2,700 of them were made. The last year of production was 1981. They were used as limos by mainly wealthy industrialists and Dictators - Idi Amin owned one. The entire car was controlled by hydralics (the seat switch alone goes for $11,400). Most of the interior was covered in leather, seats, dash, door panels, etc. The rest was wood including the "a" pillars - the front pillar that supports the windshield and roof. You can get a good view of this in a few of the episodes from the first season of Friday the 13th: the series. An even more expensive version of the car was called the Pullman, named after the railroad cars that the extraordinarily wealthy customized for travel i.e their own personal railroad car that was attached to a train. People who owned such railroad cars include: The Mellons, J.P. Morgan and the Van Der Bilts.
Like most Mercedes, the 600 was over-engineered and will likely run forever. Maintenance however is insanely expensive
