Ep 8 - Max Hoffman: The Refugee Visionary Who Put Porsche and Mercedes on American Roads

Max Hoffman was the world's first, and probably last, of the great automotive importers, bringing at least 21 European marques to the vast North American post-war car market.

His influence went much deeper than that, however, successfully influencing the creation of some true landmark models. He was a controversial character, however, with ruthless methods bordering on the deeply troubling.

I'd be fascinated to learn of your views of Max Hoffman and the value, or otherwise, of his legacy.
