Driving it gets you the official title of “U-Boat Captain”.

A 928 was the first fast car I ever drove. Possibly the most comfortable car I’ve ever driven, too.

Not 1978, it was made in 1883…

There’s another Tom vehicle to consider.
Probably more my speed these days.

Back then it was the Tom’s - now it’s the Chris’s.

The ad says it’s autographed by “shower girl”.
“‘No’, she says, ‘I want you to wash my back’.”

But where’s the '49 Roadmaster from Rain Man?

Probably weighs about the same as that 928, too.

Muphry also serves the innumerate…

Google tells me it might belong to the director, Barry Levinson. I looked it up because the '49 Buick Roadmaster was the drool-worthy star of Mulholland Falls, and I was curious if it was the same one (it’s not).

I’m sure a lot of people have also sat in this car. I guess this make it more valuable or something?

Does it come with the booster seat Tom used when he needed to see over the dash?

That ain’t no joke, either; a 928 allows a tall German man to sink way down into rich non-Corinthian leather (and a whole lot of extremely plush carpet). You don’t quite get that ass dragging the ground on the cosmic skateboard feeling, but even I, at 1.8 meters, had the sensation of being ensconced in well padded fuselage almost up to my shoulders. Xenu’s littlest bitch would probably need his five point harness suspended from the sunroof gears to look like he was driving that thing.
