A Mercedes Benz 500K in the Auto- & Technikmuseum Speyer.

This 500K has a special body and was delivered to the king of Iraq.

This car is pictured in the Erdmann and Rossi book.   The same body was also put on a 290 chassis.   There are some pictures on this site floating around of it sitting in a parking garage in I believe Iraq.

I think these are a real treat, some large photos of this beautiful streamlined car.

This is probably a few years old but I thought I would grab the pics for us:
