1934 Mercedes Benz 13H0. Mercedes-Benz' somewhat unsuccessful experiment with rear engines. The car wasn't terrible, but its handling was initially poor until the bugs of rear end sway could be resolved. The fact that they were poorly regarded cars is one of the reasons so many survived the war years as they were not commandeered for military use.

A 1930 Maybach Zeppelin. Maybach originally built engines for the Zeppelin company. The Treaty of Versailles banned Germany from building either airships or aircraft so in 1921 Maybach decided to build cars. In an age of big saloon cars, the Maybach Zeppelin with its enormous straight 12 engine was positively huge and you needed a truck license to drive one. Maybach managed to stay in business until the Nazis rearmament program diverted them back into engine production. They ceased manufacturing cars in 1940.
