A Mercedes-Benz that was used to shuttle Adolf Hitler around Nazi Germany will be auctioned in Arizona early next year and could be worth millions, if anyone steps up to bid on it.
The 1939 Mercedes-Benz 770K Grosser Offener Tourenwagen’s anonymous owner will offer the car to bidders at the Worldwide Auctioneers event in Scottsdale on Jan. 17, during the city’s annual classic car extravaganza.
While any Nazi symbols on the vehicle were removed long ago, the ghosts of its past remain.

That car would be worth millions regardless of the Hitler thing. It’s a rare, pre-war Mercedes-Benz. They are fabulous cars in their own right.
It’s not the car’s fault any more than Air Force One is to blame for obola.
Yep. The more modest model 500-types are a million or two to start.

Car mentioned here for those interested in music and the rise and fall of the Third Reich.
I hope the seats are leather and not cloth. Hitler was a vegetarian and farted constantly. “Uh dear, that’s not the catalytic converter”.
That’s one biiiiig shadow it casts there.
“It’s not the car’s fault any more than Air Force One is to blame for obola.”
I understand that Trump has had to have the AF-1’s fumigated. Cooking hog jowls and chitlins, coupled with a distinct BO, made them unusable without a thorough cleaning.
Sounds like the perfect car for Soros.
Not a great movie overall, but the reference here is hilarious, IMO:
(for those who don't know, a family is driving down a road on a cross country trip, the kids have to use the bathroom, and they see a sign for "The Barbie Museum", so the kids implore the parents to go there...it turns out to be The Klaus Barbie Museum...:)
Yeah; but I wouldn’t want to sit in it, much less own it.
“My friends all drive Porsche’s, I must make amends...”
LOL, you would HAVE to think of that! (Hitler apparently had the ability to make people gasp aloud from the gas...)
Hey, stop playing Hitler’s harmonica! Put down Eva Braun’s lipstick!
Wasn’t that in ‘Rat Race’?................
