This 1937 Mercedes-Benz 320 cabriolet was much used by the infamous Nazis before and during World War 2. A far cry from what the Mercedes CLK 320 Cabriolet is now today. |
This Merc from 1938 doesn't look like Nazi officer transport at all. It's sleek and curvaceous. It has a great name, too: the 540K Special Phaeton. This example is for sale, for no less than $1.5 million |

I'll give you one guess as to who rode in this vehicle. Yes, Pope John Paul II himself used this bulletproof popemobile after the failed attempt on his life. |
Seems that earlier Popes had to make do with to Chrysler Imperials. This was from 1966 and was used by Pope Paul VI. |

The 100 millionth(!) vehicle build by Ford in the USA was this 1978 Ford Futura. |
The original Chrysler 300M. The new 300M has a similar 4-headlamp glare and large grille. |
