Then it was purchased by the U.S. solider that brought it to the States. I suspect a lot of cars (and other objects) had multiple temporary owners before ultimately going one way or another, and it worked both ways. Territory first occupied by the Russians was ceded to the Allies who eventually took things West, and vice versa cars from areas first occupied by U.S. troops then ceded to Russians ultimately ended up going East. This book gives an account of where the cars ended up after the war: https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/the-devils-mercedes-the-bizarre/9781250069726-item.html?ikwid=devils+mercedes&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0 Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch on the different stamped used for the number "3". The weight and HP were stamped with a single machine punch, while the body and chassis number were hand stamped. I'll need to look at some other plates to see if they same stamps were used on the chassis number. That is the chassis # associated with that car since the early 1950s so I would believe it to be authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
