Price: USD $49,950Barn-Find 1936 Mercedes-Benz 290 Cabriolet C
This extremely rare and original 1936 Mercedes-Benz 290 Cabriolet C has been under the same gentlemans ownership since 1952 when he imported it from Germany. He was drafted into the Korean War in 1950, but was stationed in Germany after World War II. While he was stationed outside of Frankfurt, he purchased this Mercedes-Benz 290 Cabriolet C. After his tour was over, he utilized a perk the Army provided of shipping one vehicle back to the United States. Once home, he drove down from Massechusets to New York Harbor to pick up the car. When he bought a farm in New Hampshire in 1959, he drove it up and parked it in the barn where it has been parked ever since. It remains in original (barn-find) condition with the exception of some fresh tires to get it rolling again. No restoration whatsoever has been done to the car and no parts have been added. It even retains its army license plate reading US FORCES GERMANY 1952.
