The Mercedes-Benz 500K was first shown at the Berlin Motor Show in 1934. It had a supercharged 5-liter, 6-cylinder engine, developing 160 bhp, which was particularly suited to the new Autobahns that were being built in Germany at the time. Very few 500Ks still exist today, and this one has unusual touring style coachwork. Originally the property of the German army, it arrived in the United States after the war. It has recently been the subject of a meticulous restoration by its current owner. | |
