Ferrari Mailing List: Re: What Should I Buy [Ferrari Digest, Vol 26, Issue 8

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Did I ever show you the original 8x10" glossy UPI Wirephoto from back in the 
1930's?of Ferdi showing Der Fuhrer and the Nazi bigwigs?a 1/5th scale model of 
the proposed KdF car, complete with model shipping crate? UPI got the caption 
all wrong. They called it a 'toy present' for Hitler. They never understood the 
real significance and the impact that it would eventually have on the world. 
"Just a toy?" LMFAO!
