I hope there was a rope to keep the pubic back. I would fondle that in a completely inappropriate manner if there was no rope to keep me back! Super cool!

wow.....

mint condition with original factory tires..... from the 1940's. Thats insane. No telling what its worth. For something like that i would break my rule of never owning anything i wouldnt take to Home Depot for lumber

yup, it was perfect. Even the interior smelled like a nice baseball glove.

what is that german helmet looking thing on the drivers side front fender?

with all that excellent german engineering talent - those sorry side curtains are the best they could do?...kind of a surprise being how over engineered most german war machines were.

Definitely a FINE specimen though - must have been stowed away somewhere pretty inaccessable to have stayed that good when the sh*t hit the fan near the end of the war.

if you ignore the rest of the vehicle - the front clip almost looks British

Left fender has a NOTEK blackout light used for blacked out convoy use.

Has to be the finest flat paint job ever. Beautiful vehicle.

thank you for the NOTEK info - Im very interested german WWII equipt. I generally admire the war machines that changed war as was known at the time and defined Blitzkrieg......Wasnt aware that they used blackout lights to the extent that they did


follow up question - whats the spoon lookin thing behind the NOTEK on the fender?
