Car enthusiasts are forever indebted to Mercedes-Benz for reviving their all time favorite Maybach, which is now better known as a modern ultra-luxury marque. The famous car brand went an extra mile by making the Maybach even more exclusive than the original models that were made between 1921 and 1941. A little bit of online research tells us that less than 2,000 Maybachs were manufactured in this period, of which only a mere 150 survive today in the company of serious collectors.
Once again, the car world is excited as a very rare 1938 Maybach SW 38 Cabriolet surfaced for a sale in Germany. The coachwork of this one has been done by Spohn of Revensburg. And JamesList is responsible for organising the sale of this one at an estimated price of €690,000.

A Chicago home from the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off film is making news after 23 years of it’s first public appearance. A mid-century Ferrari house, this one was the dream child of architects A. James Speyer and David Haid way back in 1953. The exact location says Highland Park in the state of Illinois and the features include four bedrooms, four bathrooms and four more rooms of living space with gorgeous views of the countryside.
For a little memory check. The house, in the film, was owned by Ferris Bueller’s pal Cameron Frye. If you recall, there was a scene when Frye sends his father’s Ferrari through one the house’s glass walls and into the wood. Nope, don’t expect the car as part of the deal. However, there is a spacious garage for your two park not one but three luxury cars.
