about 1978 or so I visited the Gilmore museum near Kalamazoo with my father. they had an armored Mercedes there from ww2. The story was that it had pulled up somewhere and with one window down the driver or passenger or both were shot through the open window. There was bullet mark on the inside of the other front window to prove it. I seem to remember it had a large six cylinder engine. I recently looked on their website. Apparently they don't have it any more. I looked it up when I saw a similar one had sold for over a mil.

I have pics of it somewhere. I keep thinking i will run across them one of these days.
