I was taking a look at one of the AMG Mercedes cars that was at Exotics@RTC. This is a road car but it has clearly gone through a lot of aerodynamic development. The front end of the car is covered in aero treatments with fin and strakes of all sorts. I have no idea how important this is for driving the car around Seattle but it was really quite something. I spent a few minutes just looking at them and thinking back to my aero days.
This car sits in the Lyon Air Museum. As you get close, you realize just how sturdy a vehicle it is. It was used to inspect the Polish front by Hitler. Weird to think that someone as infamous as that sat in this car in front of me.
Here is one for those of you that know your vintage cars. How much is a Gull Wing Mercedes worth? This one is kept in the Lyon Air Museum in California. It seems to be in great condition and I assume it is worth quite a bit but I have no idea how much. It was tucked in amongst lots of valuable aircraft so is not the most expensive thing on display. Since the planes are generally airworthy, I would guess this is a runner too.
