Information
Cabriolet B by Norrmalm
One of three cars known to be bodied by Norrmalm and only Mercedes.
This Cabriolet body featured twin batteries, a 60-gallon fuel tank, Marchal lights, a siren and a special split front bench seat (so that neither of Gumpel’s lady friends would be relegated to the back seat), Gumpel’s signature mascot, the Roman goddess of the hunt, Diana, replaced the Mercedes-Benz three-point star on the hood.
First owner was Max Gumpel, the Swedish Olympic swimmer.
Previously finished in black with red leather interior.
