This is a 1938 Steyr 220 Glaeser Cabriolet Austrian luxury automobile which cost 7,850 Reichsmarks ($3,160 in 1938 dollars).
The Auschwitz camp Commandant owned one and it was stolen by three Polish political prisoners and a Ukrainian mechanic who also stole 4 German uniforms from the concentration camp's laundry and managed to fool the German gate guards and escaped, never to be captured.
This is one car of two still in existence at the Lane Auto Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.
