Description
This Maybach SW 38 was delivered to the Thyssen Group in Düsseldorf on April 21, 1938 and registered with the registration number 'IY 14346'. Originally the chassis was fitted with a gray-green Pullman limousine body from Spohn.
Not much is known about the early years and the war time. In 1948, however, the car was transferred to Thyssen-Gas- und Wasserwerke Duisburg and returned to Maybach Motorenwerke in 1950. Spohn received the order to re-equip the car with this modern pontoon structure. On this occasion, the chassis was completely overhauled and equipped with a new 4.2 liter engine (engine number 11719). This body was Spohn's first pontoon convertible after the Second World War and remained a one-off. The work cost an enormous 38,000 DM in 1950.
In this version, the car went to the construction company Kahlmann & Co from Hamburg in 1955. In 1961 the vehicle was deregistered. A few years later it was rediscovered in an estate and finally it ended up in the Maybach Museum in Neumarkt, where the car can be admired today.
