Strolling along in Greenwich Village, I stumbled onto this ’72 BMW 2002 sandwiched between two modern day compacts – a Ford Focus and Honda Fit. The three cars appear to have somewhat similar functional design elements – a tall greenhouse for good headroom, compact wheelbase for superior urban maneuverability, lightweight and fuel efficient, modest operation costs, etc. But something tells me that people won’t be cherishing and collecting Focuses and Fits 40 years from now.
Nice pics… As always, 2002′s are very cool cars. However, you take the time to blur out license plates and yet post the vehicles registration which includes the plate numbers???
