When a New Jersey auto dealer called up Mercedes to order parts
for a vintage car he was repairing, they asked for the vehicle’s serial
number.
Zenop Tuncer was shocked to hear the company reply: ‘That’s Hitler’s car.’The 1942 Mercedes 320 Cabriolet D was part of a fleet built for senior officers of the Third Reich during the Second World War. While the model which ended up being repaired in Edgewater, New Jersey was probably not flashy enough to be driven by the Führer himself, it is likely to have belonged to one of his generals.
