La Bmw 507 du King

No engine. No transaxle. Color change. Hideous pleated & buttoned seats. The King is dead. Long live the King!

"The 507 cost 26,500 German marks in 1957, a sum that equates to approximately €340,000 (roughly $457,000 / £268,000) today. Sales were understandably slow"

Ya think??

Are you sure you have your numbers right? 507s went for 10 or 11k when Hoffman sold them new in the US. That's less than 100K in today's money, not enough for a M6 Gran Coupe or i8 (which are sold out).
 
I like what Google translate made if this:

"Elvis Presley will be restored after exposure to the BMW Museum in Munich."

Well then how hard can it be to restore a car!
 
"Interestingly, Elvis had a paint shop spray his white 507 in Porsche Red because he was tired of women using lipstick to write their phone number and address on the side of it."

...what a problem to have.

Same here. A lady left a note two days ago on my M5 suggesting I should learn how to park.

It had no phone number and was written on the backside of a receipt for $5.49 from the taco joint. At least I was having tapas nextdoor for $16.49...

Gone are the days when women would leave a message in lipstick! Perhaps her shade would not show on the M5?

I think I remember that tapas place!
