Update On W116 450SEL 6.9 Wagon/Estate/Combi

A coachbuilder in Germany called Pollmann Karosseriefabrik created two 450SEL 6.9 wagons. The first conversion, seen below and in my September post, has a slightly raised roofline behind the B-pillar (for that stadium seating effect). The second version had a flat roofline.
