the Wolf's Mercedes page 2 by ric Gustafson
On June 28 1948, Janus traveled to New York from Chicago to receive the car. He went to Pier 97 where the Swedish American Lines ship anchored. It was the MS Stockholm and it stuck out in the Hudson River. Janus had waited three weeks for the car and he could not wait to receive it. Twenty reporters and cameramen were present for the event. Word had gotten out.
Janus's eyes bulged as the car started to emerge from the ship's cargo hold. The car's windshield appeared braced by strips of chromed steel. The grille fronted a narrow hood that looked longer than a bowling alley. The rest of the car emerged. The car was seven feet wide and as long as the front of a tenement house.
The 1941 Mercedes Benz had bulbous fenders and chrome exhaust hoses. It had running boards. A reporter asked Janus how much he paid for the car. He would not say. What did he plan on doing with the car?. He was not sure. But Hitler's car was now his. All his.
