G-MANN ◊ 2007-01-12 12:42	Should this be classed as a limousine or convertible?
Junkman ◊ 2007-01-12 13:43	Erm, whitewalls during WWII? A bona fide blooper.

Junkman ◊ 2007-01-17 08:54	This body style was called Pullmann-Cabriolet in Germany. I doubt this is a 853. I think it is a 951 Pullmann-Cabriolet with body by Gläser.

antp ◊ 2007-01-17 22:36	you never edited the cars that you identified, that's why after long time I removed your admin rights, as you were never using them. But if you wish I can give you back these rights of course

Bravada ◊ 2007-12-09 20:04	What's wrong with whitewalls and WW2 in the first place? And the car was most probably built before the war, so chances are it still rides on the original pre-war tires...
chris40 ◊ 2007-12-09 21:01	It's possible, of course, but I can't find much evidence of whitewalls being used outside the USA; only one picture of a Mercedes-Benz 540K, with no guarantee they were authentic. Before WW2 I think they appeared on Duesenbergs, Auburns and the like.
G-MANN ◊ 2007-12-10 00:52	I read that rubber was scarce in WWII, so they used something else. Whitewall tyres might have been a real luxury in WWII but then Schindler was a wealthy man with lots of connections. -- Last edit: 2007-12-11 15:32:10

In the vehicle was a diamond that Schindler had hidden under the seat. When they arrived at České Budějovice, the vehicle was seized by the Soviet Army and the Schindlers were unable to recover the diamond. -- Last edit: 2024-05-06 16:36:32

If indeed comandeered by the Soviet, this car was likely scrapped together with the diamond.
