Mercedes Benz W115 La Pickup (1972 - 1976)

Mercedes-Benz once built a pickup version of its indestructible W115-body mid-size sedan, and it was offered with a single or double cab. The pickup was assembled in Argentina between 1972 and 1976, at a time when it was forbidden to import cars and trucks into the country. But it was possible to assemble them locally in the form of CKD (completely knocked down) production, with imported mechanical and body parts. The truck was made at Daimler's GonzÃ¡lez CatÃ¡n production site, a plant that's currently gearing up for production of the Sprinter. Affecionately called La Pickup in Argentina, this W115 is powered by the sturdy OM615 2.2-liter diesel engine, rated at a modest 60 horsepower. It was mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.The two-door version is arguably prettier the weird-looking four-door pickup kept the door frames of the sedan but got an upright rear window. Both versions were fitted with upright taillights.
