Remember the BMW 328 roadster...not the famous 328i convertible, but the 328 roadster produced 1936-1940? It's a limited-production classic known in its prime for being ahead of its time with a tubular space frame and hemispherical combustion engine.  And, while it's technically an antique, by no means is it a has-been. In fact, a 1937 model owned by Lothar Shcuettler was recently named "Best in Show" at the Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival & Concours d'Elegance.

For readers, less familiar with the BMW 328 roadster, BMW Gallery of Norwood thought we'd take a trip down memory lane. The four-speed model was built on a lightweight aluminum body and sturdy steel-ladder frame. It delivered 80 PS @ 5,000 rpm and a top speed on par with most electrics today - about 93 miles per hour. During the late thirties and early forties; that was enough to steal drivers breath away. Really...

The BMW 328 roadster was so fast, it managed to win quite a few speed-focused events. In '38, for example, the BMW 328 triumphed as a class winner in Mille Miglia. Two years, later, the 328 Mille Miglia Touring Coupe won the event, averaging nearly 104 mph. Sixty-four years later, in 2004, the BMW 328 mille Miglia Touring Coupe won the modern-day classical version of the Mille Miglia, making it the first car to ever win the original race and it's contemporary counterpart... Looks like the BMW 328 was not only ahead of its time, but is able to withstand the test of time - and with exceptional grace, too!
