Originally delivered to the Netherlands, the car was acquired in Germany shortly after the Second World War and brought to the United States, where it passed through some of the most celebrated automotive collections in the world. It featured in Road & Track in 1954 and was driven by Rock Hudson in The World Is Ours.
From 1992, following a restoration in Germany, it spent years on display at Audi’s museum in Ingolstadt, and was acquired at RM Sotheby’s in 2024. Today it resides in a private collection. Its Gläser coachwork—an exceptionally long bonnet, sweeping pontoon-style wings, and a low, dramatic silhouette—is among the 1930s most elegant and arresting designs.
