The Schlotterbeck Automobile Inc. with company domiciles in Basel and Zürich was the general importer of Maybach-cars in Switzerland. This unique Maybach type SW 38 was ordered by them as an exhibition car the Geneva "Automobilsalon" in 1938. The customs clearance was on 25th February 1938.
The Schlotterbeck Company explicit had ordered a two-door Cabriolet, which was unusual. Normally on cars with LWB only four-door bodies where installed, while a SWB was reserved for two-door bodies. For this extraordinary and elegant design a LWB was necessary. Despite it length of nearly six meters it is equipped only with a small inside accessible storage place for special fabricated suitcases. Moreover the spare tyre at the stern let the extended body appear extra long and elegant.
Mr. Max Wirth-Kälin who lived in Zürich bought the car. After WW2 the widow Wirth-Kälin sold the Maybach to a lawyer and philosopher who liked the Maybach due to the elegant and extraordinary body. This enthusiasm was finally the reason that he finished his studies and started lessons as a mechanic for automobiles in order to enable him to maintain the car himself.
After a several years lasting restoration our "Black Prince" has received again its original brilliance. For this reason it was foreseen to be second time the starlet of the Geneva "Automobilsalon" in 2002. Best of Show and Cup-Winner "Retro Classics meets Barock 2011" was the car at the FIVA, an Oldtimer-Contest in Ludwigsburg in 2011.

ex SWB tram car "Bönnsche Bimmel", preserved as a conference room in Bonn, Germany.
The car is based on a 1911 trailer car, built by P. Herbrand & Cie. of Köln for the Bonn-Bad Godesberg-Mehlem tram. In 1950, this car was rebuilt as a motor car by Westwaggon and operated as #314 untill 1975, a year before the tram line itself was replaced by the new, partially underground Stadtbahn. After some years of use as a maintainance vehicle, the tram was restored for use a party tram. As such, the "Bönnsche Bimmel" was operated from 1989 to the late 2010s. In 2020, the tram car was placed at the Base Camp hostel, where it is used a conference room.
