SWB vs Pullman/Landaulet, the 'Grosser' term, and divider/sunroof options

Mercedes-Benz 600 Grand Mercedes (W100) · buying

Commenters distinguish the short-wheelbase (SWB) sedan from the long-wheelbase Pullman and Landaulet, and several argue the 'Grosser' label properly belongs only to the LWB cars, though usage is disputed. Among SWB cars, the presence of both a rear divider and a sunroof is repeatedly called the money combination, while owners who like to drive rather than be driven favor the SWB.
