Automobilis gražus, bet ar temos pavadinimas parašytas tinkamai? Ar čia, kad "mandriau" atrodytų ir tik žinovai tarp savęs iš keletos skaičių ir raidės suprastų? Jeigu keliate kažką įdomaus, tai ir temos pavadinimas turėtų normalus būti.

Behind the wheel is 1st Sergeant Owen E. Henderson, and 1st Lieutenant James Cox both of ‘C’ Company, 326th Airborne Engineering Battalion of the US 101st Airborne Division.

On May 4, 1945, the 101st Airborne Division ‘Screaming Eagles’ liberated and took possession of this armored 1937 Mercedes Benz 540 K Spezial Roadster at Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps. The car had been custom made for Hermann Goring.

US Major General Maxwell Taylor used this Mercedes as his command car in Germany until it was commissioned by the US Treasury Dept, in Washington DC to be displayed on a Victory war bond fund-raising tour across the USA. The bond tour was very successful.

In 1956 the car was auctioned off by the US Army at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, sold to Jacques Tunick of Greenwich, Connecticut, with a high bid of $2167. In 1958, he sold it to the private collection of veterinarian Dr. George Bitgood, Jr, who had it repainted into black and the chrome re-plated. Kept private, Bitgood only displayed it once at the 1973 county fair in Durham, Connecticut.



After Dr. Bitgood’s death, “Blue Goos” was shown by his family at the 101st Airborne Reunion at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in June 2002. The car was then sold to Carnlough International Limited of Guernsey, on the agreement that she be restored to her “as found” at Berchtesgaden condition.
