I just got a copy of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets. To escape from Berlin, he takes a Mercedes car from pursuing police.

I think it's a pre Benz merger car with a star on either side of the radiator crease.

Practically pulls a wheelie as he peels off.

The book was published in 1930, I think.
