On Monday, we presented this week’s shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle whence it came. Perhaps commenter King of Eldorado noticed the pedals came from under the dash, because he was the first to correctly identify the stick as a BMW 507. He will receive a Save the Manuals button and sticker as a reward.
The 507 pictured here is from our May 1957 issue, and is considered one of the most beautiful roadsters BMW ever made. Intended to be sold by the thousands, due to an unexpected increase in production costs, BMW was only able to produce 252 cars before heading straight to bankruptcy.
