Maybach SW 42

Automobiles

The Maybach SW 42 was the last Maybach passenger car, built in Friedrichshafen from 1939 or 1940 until 1941, when the factory stopped making automobiles. It was the final stage of the SW series of swing-axle cars after the SW 35 and SW 38, with a six-cylinder engine enlarged to 4.2 litres. German Wikipedia counts about 900 cars for the whole SW line. Maybach sold it as a chassis for coachbuilt bodies, and after 1941 the Friedrichshafen works never resumed building passenger cars.

The car is almost certainly a 6-cylinder SW38 or SW42.
