If you go to Las Vegas and view the cars on display at the "Imperial
Palace" they have a "Hitler Car" with two rear axles. I did a lot of
machining of the engine/trans/and steering mounts, brackets, trim
parts,
etc. when the place I worked at copied a "real" Hitler car and made 4
copies.


I did the trailer display that hauls the car around. The fold down
walkways
and handrailing and stairs.

Now that's quite a coincidence! Us both working on different parts of
the same project. My input was over 10 years ago. And I'm not even
sure the display is still active, I heard that Imperial Palace was
receiving some minor heat over displaying the Hitler car.

Not sure about displaying the Hitler car, but Mr. Englestad got in big
trouble from the Nevada Gaming Commission for having Nazi parties.
Uniforms, arm bands, and all. They were private, but someone talked. He
was fined $1.5 million. He was quirky, opinionated, and one of the rudest
people I ever did work for. IIRC, he is now deceased.
