Karl Middelhauve, known to Mercedes-Benz fans as the only one who pulls up their 600 Pullman is down in the heart of the Wisconsin rural countryside. While Charles has built a reputation in restaurant and maintaining the 600 sedan and the eponymous pullman, he has close relations with the original designer of the 600, Paul Bracq, designer of the pagoda, coupe W111 and BMW concept to name only them. Karl tied this relationship with bracq that they collaborated to create the Mercedes SL600 Silver Arrow. The Silver Arrow concept is based on a design by bracq, the 600 SL, at Karl's request. The Wisconsin team tried to remove the body panels from the SL, then to adjust them carefully. The final result of the wings and hood of the original 600 with the extra-smooth lines of the panoramic roof of the 600 SL.
