It was Klaus Barbies’ car................
I’d be too much of a history geek not to keep it. Yes, Hitler was a monster, worthy of every evil accolade we can throw at him, but he’s still the man who started the single biggest war to date in human history. Same for Ghengis Khan’s saddle, Stalin’s backscratcher, etc.
BUT, I could think of things to do with it that I could imagine pissing Hitler off in Hell. I’m thinking Tuesdays would be “offer free rides to seniors at the Jewish center” day...set up a route to local Delis and Synogouges.
It would be even more /ironic if the current owner had(s) Jewish ancestry.
good one, but I’m trying to think of things that wouldn’t structurally change the car. Maybe fill the radiator with Manischevitz wine
Drag-race it against a Citroen 2CV - and *lose*.
I know Fred, he is doing this to market the car...
Successfully, I might add!
Another story - not Hitler’s car.

Next a Seinfeld episode where George trades in John Voight’s car in order to by Adolph Hittler’s
I would check for items under the seats
Adolph Hitler......the dentist?
So, the uphostery killed the car’s owner? Is that what I just read?
Like a TODO list or something:
1. Make sure army has cold weather gear.
2. Invade Russia.
With a check mark next to #2 and none by #1.
What ultimately tied it to the infamous Adolf? It’s clearly Nazi, but who kept records that it was Hitler’s own buggy?
No matter what Nazi owned it, of course, it was owned by someone part of that evil. If I believed in ghosts haunting cars (which I don’t), I’d wonder about about 6 million Jewish spirits. It will be interesting to see if calamity follows the owners. One might as well be glad, of course, that it’s now owned by somebody more decent than Adolf Hitler.
Hitler finds out his car ends up in New Jersey. Soon to be on You tube?
He jumped out, shot at the guys and died in bed a week later after a visit from one of Hitler's henchmen.
At first I thought Hitler had him killed? For what? And then the throwaway line about the upholstery. Man, wonder what had been happening on those seats.
Hitler’s sailboat was moored on Miami River back in the 60s. Wonder what happened to it?
Seems to me "original" does not mean what the writer beleives it does.
I would keep it, grow a mustache and comb my hair over my forehead.
