In the 1980s and 1990s, Mercedes-Benz S-Class models offered dealer-installed in-car fax machines, a rare luxury that transformed these vehicles into mobile offices. This feature was a status symbol for executives, providing the ability to send and receive documents on the go, long before the advent of smartphones and email.
