Description:
|
1937 Mercedes-Benz Model 540K Special Roadster
This car has a two-passenger rumble seat; extensive chrome embellishments were used along the fenders, hood, doors, and rear deck. These, and all of the chromed handles for the doors, hood and rumble seat, required special castings.
Daimler-Benz records indicate that this body was transported from the Sindelfingen works to the Stuttgart-Unterturkheim works where it was mounted on the chassis. The completed car was shipped to Mitropa Motors in New York City where it sold for $12,000. Of the 25 Special Roadsters built, this is one on six known to still exist.
