Yes

CLUE: - it's not a truck

And here's the front wheel for you lol

Catfish · 02-10-23, 05:31 PM

So which "era" are we talking about. WW2??

Eichhörnchen · 02-10-23, 05:46 PM

Yes

mapuc · 02-10-23, 05:54 PM

I take a chance

Is it Sd.Kfz. 232 ?

Markus

Eichhörnchen · 02-10-23, 06:17 PM

^ No - I wondered when that might come up

CLUE: I maintain that whether or not this thing was designed as a military vehicle, the photos of it we're most familiar with show it in a metropolitan setting - the chief reason I couldn't honestly describe it as exclusively military

Daimler-Benz G4?

I thought about that but dismissed the thought because the tires look like offroad-tires, but I found pictures which show the car in its "mlitary" version actually having such tires (and seemingly all of the cars had offroad tires - tells you how much I know about cars

).

And the number of produced cars also fits, so I guess you're right.

Once I saw the white rims with darkhubs and bolt configuration, that settled it for me. God knows I thumped enough of them for 6 years in my trukkin' daze!

Eichhörnchen · 02-11-23, 03:35 AM

Well done, Vinnie - your turn now

Hitler's Mercedes Benz W31 type G4

I was looking for "Hitler's Mercedes-Benz W31" but it would've been both churlish and rather pointless to hold out for that. Also, the fact that, despite all the uniforms, the Nazis were a political organisation and not a military one is what led me to see its use by Hitler in Nazi parades and rallies as essentially non-military use

Jimbuna · 02-11-23, 03:51 AM

Nice one.

Catfish · 02-11-23, 07:32 AM

^ i really thought about this vehicle for a short time, but the car was not really all-terrain going, much too heavy and more of a show car.
I still wonder if those in the back seat had some lead packed on them to need a double rear axle for road shows

Eichhörnchen · 02-11-23, 07:47 AM

^ Wiki describes it as a three-axle off-road vehicle - so I just went with that

Aktungbby · 02-11-23, 10:32 AM

Yipes! The Indian temple was tougher imho. I just asked my tablet: "WWII 6-wheeled German vehicles"...and vôila...with kudos to Catfish for leading me to the 'promised land'

Ol' Adolf probably knew he'd occasionally have fatboy, Hermann Göering, in the back seat with him, so six wheels was adviseable!

'Twixt 'temples and trucks', I'm on a roll! I'll have something shortly.

Aktungbby · 02-11-23, 11:05 AM

shortly: what's this?

Eichhörnchen · 02-11-23, 11:48 AM

I can tell you what it is: it's very small. Is that a wing I can see?
