A 1939 Mercedes-Benz at 248 MPH had to be scary -- on 1930's rubber technology -- on bias ply tires.  Whew!  And there does not appear to be much airflow through a radiator.

Just found out that this body style was  labelled Prinz Heinrich  by the factory, but I strongly doubt it ever participated in that competition.
