Read this yesterday Gents and its a great piece, very informative!

So where did the terms 'Grosser' and 'Pullman' come from anyway? I never truely liked the exterior shape, but the interiors were to die for and the hydraulics are an engineering marvel!

Pullman is for the Long Wheel base variants, Grosser is German for Large from memory.

And a Green Grosser is where you buy your Fruit and Veg from............

There is an Oxford St gag there as well but im leaving it alone.....

Grosser is german for grand and the pullman was named after the pullman train carriages which were very luxurious.
The maker of the train carriages was a prude so made the beds too small for amorous use

So they're $600 grand???!!!! And obviously the Pullmans weren't luxurious enough!!
