"...The legend is that Adenauer sat in it once but knocked his hat off when exiting the car, which caused much embarrassment to BMW. One of the 505s ended up with the Bavarian State government, but Adenauer stuck to his beloved Benzes and nobody felt the urge to order this particular model." https://www.curbsideclassic.com/auto...h-the-v8-cars/ attached is a different view. "The first big V8-powered dud was the 505 limousine. BMW eyed Mercedes-Benz’s 300 "Adenauer" with envy: not only the West German chancellor, but many other VIPs were ordering the stately Benz in the mid-‘50s." ibid. |
