SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- A Washington vendor of hard-to-sell items said he is trying to sell three cars custom-built for Adolf Hitler, one for driving through war-torn streets.
Hitler had three Mercedes Benz cars made, each of which John Adrain, the Spokane, Wash., seller is attempting to sell for $3 million, KREM-TV, Spokane, reported.
The 1939 G-4 Mercedes cars all had six wheels, designed for the rough terrain of the devastated cities of Nazi-conquered nations. A parade car for Hitler and his mistress, Eva Braun, a luggage car that also served as an ambulance, and a radio car were all made specially for Hitler.
Adrain said the cars are currently in a secure Midwest location.
The owner, a friend of Adrain's, is the former owner of Las Vegas's Imperial Palace Casino, who said the cars were not driven much when he had them.
