1930 BMW DA2 Sedan

This BMW 3/15 DA2 Cabriolet was produced on August 28, 1930 and delivered new to Dresden, Germany on October 28, 1930, to the Union of Automobile Driving Medical Doctors in Dresden, Germany. A Dr. Freise in Bethel had purchased it to carry out his house calls. After coming to the United States, it was owned by Tomas Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza, who sold it in 2001 to Mike Sheehan, who gifted it to his son and daughter when they were 8 years old. The family showed the little car at Pebble Beach in 2003, where it received Third in Class.

This vehicle was built on a 76-inch wheelbase and weighs little more than 1,000 lbs. Production of the 3/15 began in December 1927 and was the first car to carry the BMW badge and a total of 15,948 units were produced before BMW withdrew from the licensing agreement to launch the new 3/20 model. The car is powered by a side-valve 4-cylinder engine developing 15 horsepower coupled to a 3-speed manual transmission.
