The German ear is a get-away auto that would be far beyond the wi)dest gleams of a prohibition era gangster aad was the former property of the arch gangster of all time. The fantastically ornote and protective, machine is the personal auto that Adolph Hitler helped design at the height of his power. A custom-built Mercedes-Benz, it whizzed the dictator over Germany. Its thick, bullet- proof glass, adjustable armor plate, ISO-mile-aa-hour \ speed and gun-laden door pockets shielded Hitler from the German populace as well as from the enemy agents. Hitler's armored ear was used principally on state occasions, but it ia known that he used it several to drive to Berchtesgaden. Driving such a powerful car was to have greatly exhilarated him. On one occasion with Goebbels, he fi said to have driven the car over 100 miles an hour. Goebbel* dftaded that he would be invited to ride with . the Fuhrer again. Goerring on the other hand, had more confidence in Hitler and is said to have eneouraged him to drive fast and to oae the powerful supercharger. In order to better Germ^yls relations with Finland, he presented the car to Field Marshal Manaerheim as a birthday present in 1M2. The latter seldom used the gift, however, since it was not very popular with the Finna. Just prior to the Bussinn invasion of Finland, Mannerheim thie ear sent to Sweden, where it eventuslly became the possesion of the Swedish government. Through tgents in Sweden it waa sold to a young Chicago business man, Christopher G. Janus, 36, of Chicago. It was natural for Hitler to look far the best and most powerful ear he could get. The watch-like precision, painstaking hand-finiah, great power and very advanced, yet oon- •ervatjve design of the Mercedes- Benz had been hailed long before his adveat.
