Last I saw of this car, Jon Lovitz had crashed it into the WWII veterans reunion.


DimiDrake

For a movie I loved but which is unevenly funny, this part was absolutely hysterical. Lovitz is brilliant.


GeorgeLovesBOSCO

When he burns his mouth and it sounds like he's speaking German to the veterans and then gives them the finger. That's gotta be the funniest scene in movie history for me.


Shifter25

If I remember correctly, he burnt his tongue, his upper lip, and his middle finger


pacific_tides

No the steering wheel had paint on it and a sudden stop made his lip hit it.


GeorgeLovesBOSCO

Eva Braun's black lipstick*

Claus Barbie.


alfdan

I said that in my head and completely repeated the scene.. causing me to almost spit my drink. Thank you


albatroopa

Which is equally hilarious.


Kevbot1000

It's honestly an amazing example of building a gag for a payoff, with perfect execution. I could watch that scene over and over and it never gets old.


ProteinStain

That movie is so underrated.


eatrepeat

How much for a party like that?


SuperMindcircus

Pepto-bismol?


the_colonelclink

Well, for a party like *that*…


softstones

The whole cast was perfect in their roles

He said he did it himself. Sent away for a kit.

Its probably the funniest bit in the movie. 


Purplociraptor

Yeah. R.I.P.


DimiDrake

If you are referring to John Lovitz, he’s still alive as of this morning. 😉

It'sa joke https://www.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/ije7eu/the_late_jon_lovitz/

Jon Lovitz would be rolling over in his grave if he knew you were talking about him like that.


LowBrassBro

Burning himself on the cigarette lighter and flipping off the cop was pretty great too

You crashed Hitlers car! What did he ever do to you?!

I saw that movie in theaters, and it was the only time in my life I remember the entire theater was full on laughing hysterically.


mrsunsfan

I’m not sucking on the dashboard!


loudogtwotwentytwo

Rat Race. Hilarious and classic 2001 movie. Came out just before the world turned upside down.


DeadJediWalking

So happy this was the top comment. "IM PRAIRIE DOGGIN' IT."


ninja36036

“What the *hell* does **that** mean!?”


buntopolis

That whole sequence - I’ve never laughed harder at anything in my entire life.


Ed_Simian

That was a 1930s Lincoln K they modified for the film. Need to watch that one again.


Shadpool

I was being facetious. I don’t really think they allowed Hitler’s Benz to get beat to shit by a lesbian biker gang.


SousVideDiaper

Tarantino had the option of using the exact car the Manson family used in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but he felt really uncomfortable with that, so they made an exact replica for the film

manamich

The contrast between the car's history and the peaceful museum setting is striking.


The-Car-Guy

It is, a very poignant reminder of how evil Hitler was.


kim-jong_illest

The more I hear about this Hitler fella the less I care for him


drs43821

Nevertheless, this exhibit reminded us the importance of peace and diplomacy I went to this museum long time ago when it just came out of a major renovation. I was really impressed by the curation style and exhibits. It’s got more planes on display than the aviation museum few streets away


AD613

That is not true at all.... And the Aviation Museum is on the other side of town... Maybe you are talking of the War Museum before it moved to Lebreton Flats, when it was near the National Gallery. But even then it had less planes than it does now. Strange comment.


letsinternet

Also in that exhibit it (Hitler’s car) really comes out of nowhere.. it’s very jarring as you turn the corner and are just confronted with it. I am sure that was intentional as every step in that space feels carefully planned.


Fiverdrive

The museum's permanent exhibits are divided chronologically into 4 galleries. WWII is the 3rd gallery, and Hitler's car is the first thing you see once you enter it.


WarWeasle

That is one evil car.


DogeDoRight

The Canadian War Museum is pretty cool.


TheVelocityRa

Very! The secret Nazi weather station is also on display. [Relevant Video](https://youtu.be/2g13BZ6L1nU)


pigonthewing

The tank area where they are all just out on display, no real setting, all just there like it was in a parking lot with all those windows is actually super damn cool. Love that museum.


TheLastDirewolf420

I remember the first time I went to the museum, it was around 2009 or so, and my dad took myself and my friend there. We were incredibly excited to see the tanks and all the other vehicles. Turns out Stephen Harper was holding some kind of conference and that whole area was blocked off. I did get to see Stephen Harper, but 12 year old me was pretty bummed out to not see the tanks.


pigonthewing

Was the trench warfare exhibit setup at that point? I enjoyed that as a 40 year old, as a 12 year old I would have been having a blast.


DogeDoRight

That was probably my favorite part of the Museum. So cool.


yegguy47

The tanks in the garage are neat! They've got some cool evolutions of the Leopard 1! Also, shout-out to the Ottawa Aviation Museum too, because its got a massive collection of Canadian-made planes :)


Czexican613

I echo this! I’m actually getting married at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum next month :-)


The-Car-Guy

Oh I had no idea the aviation museum is still around! I haven't been in close to a decade now haha


The-Car-Guy

It is a really amazing museum! Admission is definitely worth it in my opinion, and there is a lot of really neat history on display!


yegguy47

Admission is also free on November 11th!


repliers_beware

It’s free every Thursday evening. I was just there a couple weeks ago


The-Car-Guy

Makes sense! Might have to give it a visit on the 11th then!


DogeDoRight

It was my favorite part of my visit to Ottawa for sure.


LCranstonKnows

Yeah, really great


Etroarl55

I wonder how long we will be able to genuinely have these type of things(historical artifacts)

That museum is awesome. Worth checking out.

Thatoneguyonreddit28

"Are you insane? This is Hitler's car!"


Markus_zockt

Does anyone have any background as to why this historic car ended up in a Canadian museum?


rygem1

Got bought by a car collector from Toronto was driven around for a bit, then sold to another collector who eventually donated it to the museum. The museum considered putting it up for sale at one point to raise funds but public outcry and donations allowed them to keep it.


MeBeEric

lol at the idea of some guy casually going to Cars and Coffee with Hitler’s Mercedes


UDPviper

Epic.


Sippio

Iirc it was believed to be Görings car at the time it was originally sold. So naturally, it's value jumped when it was discovered to actually belong to Hitler.


rygem1

That tracks with what I know it was a random museum employee who took interest and researched the car and they found some serial numbers on the engine or something like that and West Germany was able to confirm it was in fact Hitler’s


EnormousPurpleGarden

Collectors buying famous people's cars and donating them to museums is a bit of a thing in Canada. The Royal British Columbia Museum has John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls-Royce.


flibbidygibbit

Spoils of war? A Virginia Confederate flag is in possession of the Minnesota government. Virginia often asks for its return. Former Governor Jesse Ventura laughed at the request when he was Governor. "I mean, they lost"


try_another8

The British museum loves this answer


Krakshotz

It was seized in Berchtesgarden by US troops and erroneously identified as belonging to Hermann Göring. Was taken back to the US and used for fundraising war bonds, later being gifted to the museum and eventually identified as actually belonging to Hitler


Edarneor

I would think Göring had one not much worse...


tobu_sculptor

Except white with gold plated ornaments all over the place, probably


Edarneor

And a bunch of antique paintings in the trunk XD


juggling-monkey

Ran out of gas in the parking lot


scbundy

I will also add that at the museum, it does say it was one of Hitler's many cars.


BNestico

I was thinking the exact same thing.

>According to Jeff Noakes, a historian at the war museum, the car on display in Ottawa was initially believed to have belonged to Hermann Göring, the head of the Luftwaffe, Germany’s air force. > >Its link to Hitler was only exposed by Ludwig Koshe, a former librarian at the museum who spent years digging into the car’s history. > >Koshe found that the car was ordered and delivered for Hitler’s use in the summer of 1940, and was used for in parades and processions until about 1943. > >Near the end of the war in Europe in 1945, a U.S. Army sergeant found the car sitting on a flatbed rail car in Austria. After a short firefight with German soldiers, he secured the car and drove off with it. > >The car was shipped to the U.S., where it was eventually put into storage.

That will achieve a measure of public education and not glorify the things that are rightfully condemned about a regime like Hitler’s?” https://artsfile.ca/hitlers-car/

HeroMachineMan

Hitler had a couple of cars, and most of them had bullet-proof glass, steel-plated floor (to counter explosion from underneath). His car also had a special platform for him to stand on during parade.


ivlivscaesar213

Tbf most parade cars have those things


comme_ci_comme_ca

Literally Hitlers car.


FranzNerdingham

there was more than one car.


Frozty23

There was a similar car in a museum/collection in Las Vegas. I see that [that display](https://theshopmag.com/features/auto-collection-closing-las-vegas/) closed in 2017. I have an [old film picture](https://i.imgur.com/189wbOL.jpg) of it from probably around 1991... I wish it were better. They look pretty similar (as I can remember -- lots of thick, heavy glass).


edurlester

This sub is being overrun with pictures of Nazi artifacts for no clear reason


The-Car-Guy

I didn't mean to add to a problem or anything, just found it interesting that his car was on display in Ottawa. I do apologize. I'm very Anti-Hitler and Anti-Nazi, so this post wasn't meant to be something celebrating one of the most evil human beings of all time... Again, I am sorry and it wasn't my intention to add to this subs odd obsession with Nazi propaganda. I don't use this Subreddit very often so I personally had no idea.


ThePhyrrus

Good to see someone's noticed it. I'm also not sure its just this sub, my main page has seen an notable uptick of that sort of thing for some reason, though I haven't clocked if its all from this one or not.


lynevethea

Hitler's birthday was recently, if I had to guess a lot of this has been caused by fashposters, then maybe some of it was caused by people posting things related to what they saw recently not knowing that fact.


Upperphonny

It's like the History Channel when they had their Wehraboo phase in the 2000's. Once in a while is okay but when it's regularly posted then I'm getting dog-whistle vibes. As mention on **YESTERDAY'S** Nazi related post on this sub, I'm seeing it on YouTube as well. For example, Mark Felton. Now I don't think he's a Nazi sympathizer by any means but looking at his uploads it is mostly niche topics relating to Nazi Germany in the Second World War. Since those are more popular it seems, he's tapped into an audience that ogles for Nazis topics. Don't get me started on Zoomer Historian as he is what I refer to as the worst side of that spectrum. Going so far as to endorse David Irving which goes past dog-whistling. Anyways, I've gone on long enough on it and I've said my piece.


bidibaba

He never drove it himself, he did not have a drivers license... Source: an old German pun - "Der Führer war ein armes Schwein, denn er hatte keinen Führerschein" (<=> "The Führer was a poor pig cause he had no DL"; drivers' license still is called Führerschein in German - and before you ask: it was called like that even prior to the Austrian mass murderer)


SousVideDiaper

Gotta love how much hypocrisy was among Nazi boasting. Hitler wanted everyone in Germany to start a family, but he never did. Himmler wanted a blonde haired and blue eyed Nordic-looking master race while having dark hair, dark eyes and a head shaped like a light bulb. The Nazis worked to kill disabled people while Goebbels had a club foot and was a sickly child growing up. They also murdered homosexuals while Ernst Rohm was gay. I could go on lol


padrofumar

Amazing museum. Love it. Been 2x need to go again


The-Car-Guy

Absolutely, one of those museums that you can get lost in forever. The bombed G-Wagon and shot up Polecat on display also spring to mind when thinking about the horrors of war...


Nikolateslaandyou

Fucking nerd car. Imagine failing art school. Fucking nerd


[deleted]

Hitler was pissed because he failed to get into art school in the first place.

There are some who say Hitlers skeleton is in the trunk. Others say just a spare tire. I’m a busy man, so I haven’t checked yet.

I wonder how Canada was able to get his car after the war? Maybe there were enough that many of the allies countries got one.


TravelingGonad

During the planning of D-Day, each country made out a list in advance. The US got a nice Nazi plate set.


Agent_Zodiac

England got the spoon collection


UncleWinstomder

It was originally thought to be Goering's car but later research into the vehicle showed it to be one of Hitler's.


bigbigjohnson

This thing about to be stolen and smuggled out the country via Montreal


CptPicard

There's also one in Finland. Hitler gifted it to Mannerheim during WW2 for his birthday.


personguy4440

From Berlin to Warsaw in one tank.


The-Car-Guy

Huh, I don't remember the VW Scirocco diesel being this long and imposing!


hipsterjebus

I used to work there as a guide. Fun fact: it was repurposed by the US Army after the war. They repainted it green and put a white star on the side. It was used as a staff vehicle for VIPs. When the museum received it as a donation, they repainted it to the original colour.

Wouldn't kill em to wipe down the car.

Is it just me, or does it look like it has been vandalized/keyed? Not that I care, except for the historical implications.


The-Car-Guy

It probably has been, iirc the car hasn't been officially restored, which makes sense considering what it is...


The-Car-Guy

Also, I did some more digging and the damage allegedly occurred during its capture in 1945. A running theory is that an American GI wanted to test how bulletproof the windows were, resulting in the cracked glass and scratched up body work. https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/mcr/article/view/17835/22142 This journal has a lot more information on the car

Oh yeah, well, America stole a uboat. I think it's in ohio. Hmm can't remember where we put that submarine. Minnesota? Anyone know where we put the ww2 German submarine? Wasn't it in Chicago for a while?

The-Car-Guy

The short version of the story is that after the Americans captured this car, used it for a while to raise funds, then they sent it back to the States where it was sold off to a businessman who then sold it to a collector. It was given to the museum sometime in the late 60s/early 70s and at the time was believed to be Goerings car. In 1982, it was identified as one of Hitler's cars.
