When the stunning BMW 327 Sports Convertible was unveiled in November 1937, the response was overwhelming. Designer Wilhelm Kaiser had created the lines, which were then brought to series production with the help of Autenrieth and finally built at the Eisenach plant. The fashionable streamlined shape with a long hood, sloping double kidney grille, ..

In 1934, BMW presented the 315/1, a car that embodied the brand's sporting spirit for the first time. The elegant two-seater was more than just a derivative of the staid 315 sedan – it was the promise of what would come to define BMW in the future: lightness, driving dynamics, and technical finesse. Developed under Fritz Fiedler, the 315/1 combine..

When BMW unveiled the 335 at the London Motor Show in November 1939, it wanted to make a statement. Since the 303 in 1933, the brand had worked its way up step by step with six-cylinder engines, elegant sedans, and sporty coupes. Now it was time for a car that would finally propel BMW into the luxury class – positioned above the 326 and 327, it was..

When Karl Jenschke was promoted to chief designer in 1930 after less than a year of Porsche's interregnum, the outlook in Steyr was bleak. A mere 12, in words twelve, automobiles were built in that dark year after the New York Stock Exchange had plunged the world into depression in October of the previous year. Half the workforce had been laid off ..

In 1934, BMW presented the 309, the successor to the 3/20 hp – and thus the first independent four-cylinder car after the Dixi era. The chassis and body of the new six-cylinder 303, which had been launched a year earlier as the first model with the iconic double kidney grille, were combined with a revised four-cylinder engine. This engine produced ..

In 1938, Steyr launched a thoroughly revised version of its small car. Instead of Type 50, it was now called Type 55, but it continued to be commonly referred to as the 50 Steyr or simply the Steyr Baby. The main innovation was hidden under the curved front hood: an engine enlarged to 1,158 cc with a Solex carburetor instead of a Pallas, which deli..

The British small car market of the late 1930s was characterized by pragmatism. The Ford Prefect, introduced in 1938, stood for reliable, if unassuming, mobility. Four-cylinder side-valve engines, solid engineering, no luxury – an honest everyday car that served many Britons as an affordable means of transport during the war and afterwards. But re..

In October 1931, Daimler-Benz unveiled the new Type 170 from the W15 series at the Paris Motor Show, surprising both the public and industry experts. Mercedes, previously synonymous with large and expensive cars, ventured into new territory with a comparatively compact vehicle. But what Mercedes meant by “small” was still big in terms of standards...

Chassis No. 73155 Engine No. 197252 Body No. 250172 In the mid-1930s, BMW found its stride as an auto manufacturer. Having entered the car market just a decade earlier with the license-built Austin 7 "Dixi," BMW applied its aero-engine expertise to their automobiles and rapidly earned a reputation for robust performance. By the ..
