Rare and Restored 1957 BMW 501-6 Sedan
Introduced at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show, the BMW 501 was the German automaker’s first all-new car produced in Bavaria following World War II. With its soft edges and curved shapes, the 501 earned the nickname “baroque angel,” due to the shared aesthetic qualities with the artistic movement. A lavishly appointed four-door saloon with a luxurious interior. Under the hood, a newly developed overhead-valve 2.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine bearing the internal code M337 fed 64 horsepower into a four-speed manual transmission.
This particular example has been beautifully restored and wears a lovely color scheme of green over grey upholstery. Just out of a large collection, it's been in storage and requires mechanical recommissioning prior to use. A very attractive car wearing a mellowed restoration. BMW’s 501 remains a relatively rare find among postwar German luxury vehicles, making this wonderfully restored example an excellent candidate for showing at events.
