Barn-Find 1936 Mercedes-Benz 290 Cabriolet CThis extremely rare and
original 1936 Mercedes-Benz 290 Cabriolet C has been under the same
gentleman's ownership since 1952 when he imported it from Germany.
He was drafted into the Korean War in 1950, but was stationed in
Germany after World War II. While he was stationed outside of
Frankfurt, he purchased this Mercedes-Benz 290 Cabriolet C. After
his tour was over, he utilized a perk the Army provided of shipping
one vehicle back to the United States. Once home, he drove down
from Massechusets to New York Harbor to pick up the car. When he
bought a farm in New Hampshire in 1959, he drove it up and parked
it in the barn where it has been parked ever since. It remains in
original (barn-find) condition with the exception of some fresh
tires to get it rolling again. No restoration whatsoever has been
done to the car and no parts have been added. It even retains its
army license plate reading "US FORCES GERMANY 1952". Same owner
since 1952 when imported from Germany Never-restored, all original
Barn-Find example Fascinating known history An exciting find and
ideal restoration candidate Price:$49,950
