To be honest, it's meh as far as prewar luxury cars go. Remember that this is a very cool class of cars to begin with, being meh compared to this or that certainly doesn't mean this is meh overall... But this one has a few other things going against it too. Needing a special license due to weight is never cool, that Spohn streamliner body is very scary, not to mention its country/time period of origin. So, it's a fine prewar luxury motorcar, but I'm ultimately gonna vote meh. Yeah, don't worry, I won't vote uncool on a prewar car like this... yet

Tune in next week!

Also the queue has like 6 cars on it. Anyone reading this, nominate today, the poll will be up before you know it!

I never cared for Maybach. I didn't even know Maybach was around for THIS long. This is a gorgeous car nonetheless. It will turn heads at car shows, granted the car isn't in horrid condition. My call is Sub-Zero.

Like nearly any car from this era, SZ.

It's not very stylish for a car of this era and as pointed out, very very heavy. I'm sure the V12s were lovely though. Overall Meh.
