@kevins This is a Mercedes-Benz 540K.   It was nicknamed  Blue Goose for its colour and had to have the steering column shortened to accommodate Herr Goering's beer gut.

That Horch, John, in its deep emerald and black color combo, is absolutely outstanding! 

Wish CMC did this one in that color pallette.

@kevins It goes to show how manufacturers have always produced similar cars for the same segment. Take the badges off and who knows?
