2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
Asking price is way out of line, though, about double market value. A "classic" case here of true rarity not equaling value. The limo would be worth quite a bit more than the 8P sedan. Possibly a Pebble Beach quality limo could approach 20K but it would be a tough sell. Oddly enough, the limo is not as rare as the sedan but is worth more, probably because of style and functional use as a "classic for hire".
I can't say I know much about it. :confuse: ">

hell I dunno....
Dunno about those plates...Sweden I think, if it matters
The Interceptor name is best known from the Mopar powered cars of the 60s and Jensen was the builder for the bodies of the Austin-Healey 100/3000, Sunbeam Tiger and Volvo P1800/1800ES.
The pictured car is yours for only $35,000.

Real value? Maybe $18,000 if it's really tip top.
Oh, here's a pic of a '56 Imperial limo. If you all thought the regular 4-door sedan was long, check this mastodon out!

Note the fins are a bit different here. That's because low-volume '56 Mopars, such as station wagons and the Imperial limo used some carryover 1955 stampings. Instead of making a whole new quarter panel for the limo and wagon with a fin incorporated into it, they just took the old '55 quarter panel and literally grafted a fin onto it. The seam was then hidden by a chrome strip.
We had a ball with that car. It was a hemi, and we would "triple-date" in it, as it had small fold-away jump seats in the back. It was painted "institutional green" (think old high school bathroom colors), and it was known all over town, as the hot ride—in more ways than one!

You will see American influence on European design now and then, but it has rarely been successful for obvious reasons (see photo above). Nothing worse than fins on a SMALL car.
The four rings of Auto Union still seen on Audis stood for the component brands of the original Auto Union (a kind of German GM): Audi, Horch Wanderer and DKW.

You gotta go some to be the ugly one in that family.

Pretty rare car for the US. I don't think I've ever seen this model. I suppose most have rusted away by now.
Pretty though...a car being a hardtop gives it a head start on looking nice.
The 2000CS coupe that followed the 3200CS went all the way with a smooth pointy front end straight off the '65 'Vair, except for the BMW kidneys->
These were the first to use the famous Hofmeister kink on the C-pillar, perhaps to set them apart from Corvairs which they so closely resembled in profile.
Eventually they " BMW-ized" the front end and came up with the beautiful 2800CS and 3.0CS/CSi/CSL coupes of the 1970s and set the tone for BMW styling until the Bangle era began.->

Try this one but look carefully, it's not what it seems->

This ad says Mercury and this one says Ford :confuse:
It looks like a US Ford Custom with a Mercury grille.

Mercury = Monarch
Also GM and Chrysler had their own Canada-specific models too.

Yep, quite a few of 'em and with some interesting twists. Canadian Pontiacs of the '60s were built in lighter Chevy frames and used Chevrolet drivetrains, thus you could have a 1964 Pontiac Parisienne 409. With the body and trim of a Bonneville but the wheelbase and motor of an Impala.
Other model names used by Pontiac in Canada were Laurentian, Acadian and Beaumont.

Does anyone know exactly why the big three did this stuff for Canada? I don't see the point.
