Maybach SW 38

Automobiles

The Maybach SW 38 was a six-cylinder luxury car built by Maybach-Motorenbau from 1936 to 1939. It was the second stage of the SW series of swing-axle cars, which began with the 3.5 litre SW 35 of 1935; the SW 38 used a 3.8 litre engine, and the SW 42 followed it with 4.2 litres. German Wikipedia counts about 900 cars for the whole SW 35, SW 38 and SW 42 line. Like earlier Maybach cars, the SW 38 was supplied as a chassis for coachbuilt bodies, among them cabriolets by Spohn of Ravensburg.
