The story of Rudolf Caracciola, his 500K, and how it ended up collecting dust at Rudi Klein’s shop turns out to be less film noir than spy novel—
indeed :
"Stashed away for the duration of the war, the 500K proved to be more of a survivor than its owner. But where does one hide a nearly 20-foot-long, 6,000-pound luxury car from marauding scavengers of war? Apparently Ethiopia, where it was covered in tarpaulins and hidden in a manure pile. “It’s incredible what you can sometimes find in a pile of crap,” Tom Hanson said when we discussed this improbable twist. How then did the 500K ever find its way back to the United States?"
