1939 Maybach
This is a beautifully restored example of one of Germany's great automobiles. This car is considered the best of approximately seven known to exist. It has had a few owners and was a very sound complete car before a full restoration was performed. The resulting efforts of the restoration enabled it to receive a class award at Pebble Beach Concours. This Maybach, unfortunately, is not for sale. The company's name comes from Wilhelm Maybach, one of Germany's first automotive engineers. He designed the first car that bore a Mercedes badge in 1901 and later collaborated with Graf Zeppelin to design and produce engines for the airships known as Zeppelins. Today, Maybach creates luxury cars that are as exclusive as they are expensive - each are custom-built to their customer's taste.
