Now I dont recall hitler being in a caddy in that mini series, and I 
just watched the complete thing on DVD not too long ago.  Are you sure 
his car was used for hitler to ride around in and not soembody else?

for his pocket protector because it was getting dirty. He really is
that guy.   His wife and sons also all play AT LEAST three instruments
each.  He also collects all sorts of odd cars.  He had a beautiful 41
Cadillac that was used in the movie War and Remembrance.  The strange
thing in the movie was that He was Hitler's chauffer.  I don't know why
Hitler would be in a Cadillac, but they did use his car.  He also has
several MGs MGBs, Triumphs, and several Avanti (s).   He once rebuilt
the MGB's engine because he was bored. He put everything back together
and he had a hand full of small parts left over.  It ran, so he decided
to put the parts in a Ziploc in the glove box.  As far as I know 4 years
later the car was still running fine.

Perhaps I got the passenger wrong.  I do know it was a 41 cadillac and
My uncle drove it in the movie. He is the Dorky guy wearing a plaid old
guy hat. I have not seen it. He said he is only on screen for 10
seconds.

When you said they got it for $40, I had visions of
chopping the roof off.
