I know nothing about Mercedes-Benz models, but I'm watching the series "Hitler's Bodyguards" and in the second episode I viewed last night, the narrator said that the six-wheel Mercedes-Benz W-31 G4 type, was a popular model used by Hitler. He always rode in the front passenger seat with the driver through a parade route.
This Wikipedia page shows one:
W31
The page also reports:
"In 2009 in the U.S., a classic car collector offered three W31s for sale for $9 million. With unproven claims of use by Adolf Hitler, they included a blue convertible and a grey Wehrmacht W 31 with a closed cab. A special feature of the convertible was that the front passenger seat could be folded up, so it was possible to stand upright in the car."
The fact that the blue convertible had a front seat that folded up for standing may be proof that it was a car actually used by Hitler.

I seem to recall that some of Hitler’s family were living in New Jersey. They were children of Alois Hitler’s (Adolf’s half brother) son William Patrick, who came to the US before the war started.

LOL, or have it surrender to the citroen before the race starts.

Very funny. Great that we can laugh and make fun of things that might have ended entirely differently, isn’t it?

Doesn’t look like a car Hitler would ride in public with that flat black paint job. You want to look glitzy in parades. Definitely more like one used in military functions. From online photos, Hitler seemed to have several parade cars.
