Dick;
Thanks to the Army, I also went back there-- eventually winding up near
Frankfurt. I'm sure the kid who owned that car had no idea (none of us did)
that it was anything special. That red paint job sure attracted attention,
though!
Regards, Neil

Having lived in Germany (thanks to the U S Army) I was going to ask if you
were in Germany - - then I got to the last line. Even in Germany though, an
Adler that survived WWII was pretty rare.

A friend of mine in high school owned a 1939 Adler. He painted this
front-wheel drive German wonder red-- with a paintbrush. The back seat was
loose and if you hit a big bump, the baseball bat he used to prop it up
would slip off and you'd fall back into the trunk. How's that for weird?
I may be cheating, though-- I went to Frankfurt American High School in
Germany.
