1979

Period film of the Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen being run through cross-country testing. The upload's notes set out the chain that produced it: the 1972 joint-venture agreement between Daimler-Benz and Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Graz, the 1975 decision to build a dedicated plant there, and the February 1979 presentation of the production G-Models.
