Mercedes in paris

 16 cylinder Bugatti goes 255 mph.  This is the last  16 cylinder car I drove.  Von Ribbontrops Mercedes
car I drove as a transporter to Le Harve to take officers home after WW2.  Railroads were still a mess the summer of 1945.  So officers got personal transportation to the port of Le Harve for the boat home.  Or the Pacific war still going on  I suppose.  This car did not really get going until it reached 40 when it began to purr.
