My first thought when I saw this car on the street was: This belongs into a museum!"
If a car deserves the label "Classic" then its the BMW 501, the socalled "Barokengel" ("Baroque angel", called so because of its shape), which was build between 1952 and 1958. This is really a wonderfull car and definitively more beautyfull than BMWs recent design which range IMHO from bizarre to fucking ugly.
