i just noticed that the car comes with a 1/18 marlon brando figure. If i saw it on sale somewhere, it would be something i could not refuse..

I've got one of those 1:18 Mercedes staff cars with the red flags (no nazi symbols) on the fenders I bought at Farfield.com a few years ago. Cobra Commander likes to sit in it.
Wonder if any staff cars were Cadillacs? For like Omar Bradley or Eisenhower during WWII. You'd have a nice one if you painted it olive drab.
I'm sure a president rode in one. Maybe Roosevelt or Truman or even Oppenhimer rode in one of those.
It's nice and worth it especially with the figure.

Cool find, you could always change the emblems to make it look more German-sacrilege.

It's a nice car. I got one along with my '38 Cadillac Hearse.
There are some 1/18 cars for your Germans. Check these out.

This '38 MB 770K also works well and this is a great price:

That's the one I have only it's all black. This must be a re-issue. Good price.

Anyone know if that G4 is the same as the one in Hogans Heroes? You know, the one General Burkhalter arrives in.

yes, only his was grey, iirc. Signature also makes a grey one, but i can't find it anywhere, just the white one. The black one is hard to find too. Would be pretty easy to repaint though, i used to repaint 1/18 diecast cars all the time.

by the way, anyone know what colour the car hitler road around in typically was? I am assuming black but after looking at b&w pics i am not so sure now.
