Bought in 1936 by von Krieger, an aristocratic Prussian family, the Mercedes-Benz was named the von Krieger 540 K Special Roadster.

Many supercharged Mercedes-Benz during the battles in Europe, were stolen or lost, but the von Krieger's Special Roadster remained an important possession of the family and survived hidden away. Thus protected from War, the Car connected the Family.

The elegant daughter, Baroness Gisela von Krieger, once named one of the ten most fashionable women in the world and widely recognized for her elegant style took this Mercedes-Benz as her personal vehicle and kept it to her death.
