GTP Cool Wall: 1936-1940 Mercedes-Benz 540K (type W24)

[SlipZtrEm]

Easy SZ, even if it reminds me of Cruella's car.

 

[Tyger]

W&N must be physically sick when he sees a Beetle.

 

[Zenith]

Tough call. It's so nice but it's a bit ostentatious...

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

Tough call. It's so nice but it's a bit ostentatious...

Sometimes ostentatious can be cool. This is one of those times.

 

[Cano]

The easiest sub-zero title just changed hands.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Cool, saw one at a local auto show, this one is owned by the Gilmore car museum.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Definitely cool.

 

[niky]

W&N must be physically sick when he sees a Beetle.

I think he would hate it either way...

Classy, but not quite a subzero for me.

Because it ain't a BMW 328

an Auburn Speedster

or, if your tastes run to the classically classical, a Jaguar SS100

That SS doesn't suck, it swallows.

/Huehuhuehuehuehue.

The colour up there doesn't help.

In black, very cool indeed. Even if it does look a bit like a staff car.

That SS doesn't suck, it swallows.

/Huehuhuehuehuehue.

That is such a car geek joke and I love it.

 

[Tornado]

Big flashy Great Gastby looking cars are always cool.

 

[AlvaroF]

It's achingly cool. Easiest SZ I gave after the XKSS

 

[JTB10000]

So much class.

SZ

 

[MoLiEG]

In all honesty, I know next to nothing about this car apart from the fact it looks classy as hell. Subzero.

👍

 

[Cano]

Because it ain't a BMW 328an Auburn Speedster

Dude if you're gona brag about the 852, don't post a picture of a replica! You won this:

Now this is how you brag of a car! Let's see how many get it

I have a feeling I know how he'd vote on this one it be SU for him due to a certain political group during the Era that happened to have a Leader in the same nation and on and on and on.

Flappers?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Flappers?

Yes flappers that were of perhaps Nazi origin

 

[Dagger311]

Sub zero, it's a classic (and classy) Mercedes.

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

Sub zero, it's a classic (and classy) Mercedes.

Classyic, if you will...

YEEAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

High cool. just because of those exposed horns.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

That's one of the nicest and classiest looking cars I've ever seen from the '30s. Very cool!

 

[niky]

Dude if you're gona brag about the 852, don't post a picture of a replica! You won this:

Pohtato potahto McDonald's French Fries. It looks like one, I'll take it.

Mind you, the last time I looked at an Auburn Speedster was when I was sixteen years old or so...

 

[Rhykus Finlay]

It's definitely a nice car, but the Nazi-ism gets me to vote Meh.

However, imagine the horrible backlash if Mercedes tried to 'recreate' this car today. Wow.

 

[JMoney]

The only uncool thing about this car is the fact it was used by the Nazis. If that weren't so I would have said Sub-Zero.

 

[GTracer98]

The question is simple: if you drove this, would you put a smile on others' faces? The answer is yes, so it's a Sub Zero from me. Used by Nazis or not, it's a car, it's coolness has nothing to do with fascistic regimes...

 

[huskeR32]

Any car that exists solely in the realm of concours gets an uncool from me.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Sub-freaking-Zero. And it's unfortunate Roger had to go for SU... Seriously, just imagine him driving one of those cars? Pffft, I HIGHLY doubt he was a mercedes kind of guy. More like a Volkswagen guy however I don't even bloody know if Volkswagen had limos or fancy vehicles by that time. Yep, definately not any that I recall of.

VW barely existed at the time.
