A Mercedes-Benz With A Storied History Goes For 4-10 Million Euros

If you had 4 to 10 million Euros, would you buy a classic Mercedes-Benz?

Not just any classic Mercedes but the one that belonged to the Fuhrer himself? Although I am a history buff myself, there is something about this that just seems wrong, no?

Germany's Express reports:

The Düsseldorf classic car dealer Michael Froehlich (59) has found the original car from Adolf Hitler. " A million business.

Frohlich client is a Russian billionaire, which deal a multi-digit million amount is worth it. But Hitler's car to its four or ten million euros worth.

A middle-man had come up with the unusual request of his wealthy client to Froehlich. "I was torn. It dealt, after all, the car that terrible mass murderer," he admits....

Oh dear Lord. People are going to get worked up over a car that "belonged" to Hitler.


"OMG the car is like so like evil! LOL"


It's a friggin car. Aside from that Hitler didn't drive it, he was driven in it. I can see the historical appeal and aspect of owning such a car and that's about it. It's a piece of history and nothing more. No need to hate it.

One of my favorite movies ever.

But do I see people going around saying horrible things about Plymouth Fury's? Nope.

Nobody hates it. We all recognize it's just an old car. It's a piece of history. No need to get defensive solely because it's a Mercedes.

Oh wow. And Russia goes around calling everyone who dares to critize them a Nazi and a Hitler appeaser. Can't wait to see the look on those rusky faces when all the neo nazis in Russia line up to kiss the tires on this car. Should be hilarious!

I thought the Hitler Parade Car was on display in a Las Vegas car collection...although it may have been sold to a museum in Danville, CA.

How much ya wanna bet that this car was NEVER registered to Hitler...
it was registered to the NAZI party...

But if this isn't the "Las Vegas" Grosser Mercedes 770K...It could be any 1939-1942 Grosser Mercedes 770K

This is one of many cars used by Hitler. There was one that crossed the auction block at Barrett Jackson back in 1997 or 98, I can't remember, that was built on a triple axle military truck chassis to better withstand the rubble and worn torn streets of the cities he conquered. Mercedes built only two of those and I think that may be the one on display in Vegas but not sure. Interesting piece of history though and one that will probably exceed the price range they are expecting. There are some serious collectors of this kind of stuff out there.
