  2. Here is Prussian Baroness, Gisela Josephine von Krieger with her 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 KIMG_0615.jpeg.f39c7d24aaccbb3c0007e14adb0f679c.jpeg Roadster and the Hindenburg, the famous Zeppelin, above.
    The Baroness lived in the United States, but died in Europe in 1989.
    However, the car remained in the United States, stored in a garage in Greenwich, Connecticut, forgotten for 40 years.
    One of the 25 built in 1936 and 1937, the 540 K was purchased for 28,000 Reichmarks in 1936 (app. 115,000 Euros today).
    It sold for $11,700,000.00 in 2012, making it the most expensive pre-war vehicle ever sold at an auction at the time.

  3. Has anyone here seen this car in person? Know any more about it. 
     
    This 1932 E-1 Cord Experimental Limousine was driven only 779 miles when the stock market crash ended the plans for putting the big limo into production.
    So, it was dismantled.
    Paul Bryant saw the body in a barn near Plato Center, Ill.
    It had no engine, no fenders, and no grille shell.
    Paul searched for and found the missing parts and painstakingly reassembled this magnificent auto.
    May be an image of hood ornament

    Base 2-door sedan for '51. Sounds like an honest seller's description. Most of the chrome appears to be in pretty good condition considering Korean War shortages and 70 years of age. I would take my "detecto-magnet" along when I check out this car. Seen too many rusty shoeboxes filled with Bondo. Check out floors and frame. too.

    Probably worth close to the asking price if it's solid, and you don't mind the six.

     

    Never heard the term "OG". ...OEM maybe?

    Where did these 49-51's typically rust? I may be looking for/at a '49 coupe. Also, we hear a lot about flatheads and I think there's a certain cool factor about them, but what about this Ford 6? Are they good engines? Reliable? Easy to get parts?

  5. Driven 300 miles
    Automatic transmission
    Exterior color: Brown · Interior color: Blue
    Fuel type: Gasoline
    Clean title

    This vehicle has no significant damage or problems.
