Hitler's cars for sale...(honestly, no joke; no weak punchline)

[Blue_Tires]

SPOKANE-- A Spokane man is trying to sell three very rare cars.

The $9 Million price tag includes a lot of history, but not all of its good.

John Adrain has three Mercedes-Benzes he’s been asked to sell. The cars are worth about $3 Million each, it’s $9 Million for the set. The previous owner only drove them a handful of times, the previous owner was Adolph Hitler. The $3 Million cars are 1939 G-4 Mercedes. They are in a secure location in the Midwest waiting for a buyer. Adrain is a friend of the owner; he specializes in hard to sell items. The former owner of the Imperial Palace Casino in Vegas used to own them; he says they didn’t get out much then either. The cars have six wheels, built for Hilter to drive through the blown out streets of conquered countries. There’s a parade car for Hitler and his mistress Eva Braun, a luggage car that doubled as an ambulance, and a radio car. Only eight were ever built. Adrain says selling the cars is not about the former owners, but about the history of the car. Each car is completely customized, making them each one of a kind.

2. But is Hitler's harmonica in the glovebox?

"Give it to me! You can't play with that!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's Hitler's harmonica!You can't play Hitler's harmonica!"
"You're driving his car."
"Yes, but I'm not touching it with my mouth. I'm not sucking on the dashboard. I'm not getting his germs!"

3. I thought it might be the one he drove while he lived in South America in the '50's

before he moved to Miami. He was a real hoot driving that T-bird around Florida.....

4. I wonder if Lemmy would be interested in those.

He has quite a collection of Nazi memorabilia, including a brush and mirror that belonged to Eva Braun.

6. I read somewhere that Curt Schilling is into collecting as well...

but it could have been an urban legend...

They already have Nazi fighter planes, why not include Hitler's cars?
