30 June 1948 ~ Petoskey Evening News
Sheldon Buckmaster remembers, as a young boy, seeing this very vehicle, touring locally as Hitler's Car. He said it sat in the V-shaped land next to Petoskey MI JC Penney store on the corner of Howard and East Mitchell streets. He remembers that it had maybe been transported there inside a large truck. 

Other websites, like one on Tripod (filled with photos), contend that perhaps as many as 7 or 8 vehicles like this were a part of Hitler's fleet for his staff. One vehicle exists today in the Canada War Museum in Ottawa Canada. That car is discussed on the "Material Culture Review" webpage.

Another webpage from The Guardian discusses this particular car above, because it references Mr. Janus who is mentioned in the 1948 article above.
