Insights

Released in the 1960s and retired, 1:87 Mercedes Flatbed Truck (set 653) is an early pre-minifigure 1:87 Mercedes model whose limited Continental Europe distribution and fragile paper packaging left few sealed examples, and that scarcity alongside collector crossover interest supports continued post-retirement appreciation.

Set Facts

The set remained in production until 1968 and featured five color variations: red, blue, sand green, yellow, and white. The flatbed, however, was consistently gray.
It is the same Mercedes Truck that is seen in the set 654 Flatbed Truck with Trailer.
This truck was also included in 699 Truck Assortment.
It is a co-branded set with Mercedes.
