Vehicle History

This car was made in July 1935 specifically for the 1935 Paris Motor Show, and gained the title " Car of the Year". It was then owned by Reichmarshal Hermann Goering until the end of the war, when it was liberated by Marshal Rokossovsky who gave it to his friend Mikhail Ivanovich Samokhin on 29th June 1945 when presenting him with a medal. In 1956 the car was sold to the head for an aviation company in Tushino - VA Rumyantsev, and in 1968, in poor condition, fell to Alexander and Nadezhda Feodorovna Lomakovym. They restored it over three years, after which the car has had a distinguished film career, appearing in 25 films.
