around the world in 2014. This desire does not come out of the blue either. Hetzer ran the largest network of automotive dealers in Germany when she was younger. Now she is 75-years old and clearly enjoying things. 

She has competed in the Carrera Panamericana and Mille Miglia and owns quite the coterie of cool cars. The brief documentary below shows her driving a race-prepped first generation CorvetteChevrolet Corvette Gen.1United States of America, 1953 > 196218 versions

It is definitely worth your three minutes to watch the brief video below about Hetzer.
