Rainer Faude paid great attention to detail when it came to restoring his 1633

Classic vehicles

Eye-catcher.

When Rainer Faude is out and about in his 1633 and low-loader, he turns heads. Especially when he parks his blue short-hood truck on the load area.


The series.

Mercedes-Benz renovated the New Generation (NG) at the end of the 1970s.

The NG 80 brought the series the option of a new, spacious cab and motors with exhaust gas turobchargers.

The OM 422 A is a real powerhouse: 1,400 Nm maximum torque with 1,200 rpm.

The vehicle.

Long-distance transport, the TIR plate on the grille, the old four-digit postcode in the company logo – these are the details that make Rainer Faude’s 1633 tractor unit a real time machine.
