A parade car for Hitler.
Rumored to have been found in a Russian generals barn a few years ago.
Brought here and cleaned up, but no real restoration needed.
The passenger front seat folds up so the passenger can stand at the window and greet those who watch the parade.
My daughter with the parade car.
In close up you can see the true color of the car body is a gloss panzer gray, the trim is all black.
Note the back up light and the registration stamp on the license plate.
Hitler had a special step installed so that Eva could step up to the seats without having to step too high while wearing a short skirt.
The information plaque for the vehicle. Always take photos of the vehicle plaques at museums so that you know what you saw when you get back home!

Interesting.
Hah - that brings up memories; a million years ago, when I was still a kid (1969), I got a snap-together plastic "chitty-chitty bang bang" model car, probably in something like 1/64 scale, as a giveaway at a gas station (remember when they used to do that?)
It was similar to the Hitler car in general shape - I painted it dark olive green, and mounted some of the old airfix German Infantry figures in it - and used it as a German staff car.
Service Ration, it is a beautiful car, no matter who owned it.
