Seems like cars have always had radios, but they didn’t. Here’s the story:
One evening, in 1929, two young men named William Lear and Elmer Wavering, drove their girlfriends to a lookout point high above the Mississippi River town of Quincy, Illinois, to watch the sunset. It was a romantic night to be sure, but one of the women observed that it would be even nicer if they could listen to music in the car.

I bought this car in May 2012. The choice of this vehicle was based on a need to have a little more trunk space than my MGA. A search on the internet familiarized me a little more about the models 230sl-250sl-280sl and the market. Prices vary as much as the condition. But I was not looking for a show car to harvest trophies but rather a road car to enjoy.

BMW’s have always had a soft spot in my heart ever since my father bought his first BMW in the 1990s. I love the drive and something about their lines put a smile on my face.

Please, make an effort to make sure it is not in your possession and return it to a Board member, or call 514-697-9037.
