1938 BMW 328 Navigation
Delivered new from the BMW factory in Eisenach, Germany, to Berlin dealership of Brenner and Schoth on August 27, 1398. Factory records indicate Sportwagen #85288 was delivered with green paint and green upholstery. Brenner and Schoth records, including the first owner's name, were lost during the Allied bombing of Berlin. Frank Spring, renowned Hudson car designer, of Beverly Hills is the first known U.S. owner of the car in 1953. Early in the car's history it was modified for racing by installing air cooled brakes, improved Schleicher cylinder head, crankshaft and camshaft. The current owner has owned the car since 1985.
