Car a gift from Hitler to King of Nepal

Did you know Trivia - A car given by Adolf Hitler to the king of Nepal is headed to a museum.

Hitler gave the 1939 Mercedes to King Tribhuvan, grandfather of just-ousted King Gyanendra. A special assembly voted to abolish the monarchy last month.

In recent years, the car has been at an engineering college in Katmandu, which was using it to train mechanics. The school doesn't have the money or parts to restore the vehicle.
