It was built during WWI..." In the link pointed by Gag Halfrunt see the comments of nzcarned, pilou and robgeelen2

Perhaps we could establish a page somewhere with all of its appearances - also the other 1927(?) M-B with the boattail body seen recently which also appeared in several movies. I think a chassis date of 1916 is believable - it is certainly too narrow for the fenders fitted in the rebuild.
