Hello.

 

It's a Borgward steering wheel.

The coat of arms belongs to the city of Bremen - Germany.

Borgward was a German automobile manufacturer based in Bremen.

 

Kind Regards, Hans

Never woulda guessed a Borgward. I was thinking the Peugeot lions, too.

Way to go, Hans!

You'll do just fine on bmw2002faq...!!!

Correctomundo!

I should have said that the single Peugeot lion resembled the right-hand lion of the two lions which appear on the Borgward marque.

I'm amazed at the varied knowledge of such obscure vintage marques! Good catch.

Wow, you never know what you're going to learn on the FAQ!

 

Okay, here's one: what's the significance of the twin flag emblem on the rear wings of the Triumph Herald? The correct answer will show its relationship to our BMW Neue Klasse cars.

Well, it's lovely to know I now have a Borgward horn ring adding to the clutter in the garage. I am confident that my kids, upon my future passing, will be really impressed with the varied quantity of obsure junk.

I Imay just look for a Botgward forum in Deutschland and see if someove over there wants itk to help add a small increase to my estate, For which my kids would probably be more thankful.

(Frogive the mordid thinking but I just got out of the hospital after being rushed to the ER on suspicion of havng a stroke, Nothing found in all the tests except an unhealthy affinity for NKs.)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
