A rare sight frozen in time. The recolorized photos show a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Longtail Special Roadster parked on a Bucharest street in 1939, right on the edge of history. Only twenty-six of these longtail Special Roadsters were ever built, and seeing one captured curbside like this feels almost unreal. #automotivehistory #prewarcars
