general Burkhalter (Leon Askin)'s car was a 3 axle mercedes,presumadly a G4(W31),but for years the story was,it was a late 20s,early 30s Maybach Zepplin V12 that had been modified with the addition of an axle (3rd) and major body work.
i have a production still of the hogans car,and a shot of a real "G4(W31)",ive been looking and if they modified a maybach they did a great job,or im wondering if the one in los angeles in a museum is the "show car" ( ive read they dont know its history,but they do know its an authentic G4,except its on "street tires" made in Isreal ( kind of ironic?..)
what do you guys think?..hogans car the real deal?..or modified maybach?....remember BOTH cars were rare and the mayback was concidered colectable at the time the show was made...i some circles it was anyway...we had two zepplins in town,,,lost them in a barn fire in the 70s
