An example of the cool vehicles that Bring A Trailer" has every day

Australian Charger Hemi Six Pack

Mercury Comet Cyclone

1965 Impala NASCAR racer

1959 Ferrari 250 GT California Spider, like the Ferris Bueller car
1957 BMW 503, like the Elvis post a couple weeks ago

Cord 813 Beverly

1922 Battistini coachwork Buick

1914 Hupmobile
So enjoy Bring A Trailer; http://bringatrailer.com/ there is no telling what will show up, last time I looked it was an SCCA racer Mustang from the late 60's, in need of restoration and then you'd be on the vintage racing circuit in great company!

I can't recall seeing a BWM emblem with red instead of blue before this

Anyone know why? I'm curious... the internet doesn't offer much, but this seems to indicate it's an insult to have anything but Blue and White: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080504174420AA0kz1N because those are the colors of the Bavarian flag

From http://www.toytowngermany.com/lofi/index.php/t59808-15.html
it used to be red and white as it was the symbol for EMW, Eisenach Motoren Werk, which is where the factory was before the war and changed to blue and white when It became BMW and moved to Bayern and yes it was supposed to represent a propeller.
