Yes, but the people's car was saved by an English Major during the occupation. He got production going again at the bombed-out factory at Wolfsburg and saved the company in order to re-establish transport and communications in the rubble of the 1000 year Reich.

Is it actually four-wheel drive or has it just had some big assed wheels put on it?

Yep, 4X4 I remember seeing on BarnFinds.com a couple years ago. Cool story, the old cobb ran that route from the 40's into the 70's with it. Some remote, heavy snow area

Found an article on it.

At least 3 of them although this is the only one still working.
No mention of 4 wheel drive and there doesn't seem to be any sort of front diff' or drive shafts.

Really cool though.
