The new W 124 mid-range model series was extremely important for Mercedes-Benz. After all, it represented a large part of the market success for many years. A small series was produced as early as autumn 1984 and it was clear that the successor to its enormously successful predecessor, the W 123, was a major task. The mere variety of different engines in the saloons, long-wheelbase versions, estate ...

In the winter of 1937, the four-seater BMW 327 Cabriolet came onto the market. The elegant lines of the body were immediately recognised, but sales got off to a slow start. For many, the BMW 326, also as a convertible, was more practical. In 1938, the 327/ 28 variant with the more powerful engine was added to the range and suddenly the 327 Cabriolet was in demand. Today, this model is in great demand. ...

No other than the small manufactory Officine Alfieri Maserati was brave enough in 1963 to put a full-blood sports engine into a luxury limousine.

BMWs first post war car was the model 501, a representative, luxurious limousine. But its six-cylinder engine with two liter capacity from the pre war model 326 could not keep up.

Sales remained modest, however, since the conservative design ...

February 1963 was the end of production for the two classics 300 SL and 190 SL. The new 230 SL (W 113 series) was the successor. A modern body and a snarky six-cylinder engine made it a hit as a replacement for the 190 SL. The legendary 300 SL remained without successor. The racing and rally driver Eugen Böhringer earned the new roadster respect with his successes on the 230 SL.

When Carl F. W. Borgward returned to his factory from internment after the war in 1948, he already had plans for a new mid-range car. The Hansa 1500 was the first German post-war design to be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1949. The pontoon body was sensational: no wings, thus more space in the interior, no semaphore indicators as direction indicators but modern flashers developed by Bosch. ...

The new, self-supporting design offered significantly more interior space and for the first time allowed safety aspects of a specifically mouldable sheet metal structure. After the four-cylinder models, the public eagerly awaited the six-cylinder models. ...
