Overview of 1939 BMW 328 Roadster For Sale by Owner

Now here’s a truly rare vintage car that is likely the sort you’d be able to buy just once in a lifetime. This 1939 BMW 328 Roadster is a fine example of the German automaker’s long and illustrious history of excellence. It offers you a comprehensive look at what BMW was way back then. In fact, in 1999, the 328 was named one of 25 finalists for the Car Of The Century award by a worldwide panel of auto journalists. Its achingly beautiful shape, potent straight six and the overall pristine condition of this example all make this a highly coveted collector’s piece. That is reflected in its price too. If you want to make this rolling piece of history your own, it’s currently up for grabs in Florissant, Missouri.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a cream colored suit that’s reportedly a repaint, this 1939 BMW 328 Roadster features classic Thirties design, podded headlamps, and body-colored hubcaps for its wheels. The wheels wear classic Blockley Special 6-Ply tires that are period-correct; no radials here. Underneath the beautifully curvaceous body that sports an early iteration of BMW’s iconic kidney grille lies a lightweight tubular frame. The front axle uses a transverse leaf spring, the rear is a live axle. The brown interior of this 1939 BMW 328 Roadster embodies what sports car motoring was like way back then. It’s completely exposed to the elements and offers a brown leather-upholstered low-back bench seat for driver and passenger. The steering wheel is removable, and there’s a full gauge pack in the dashboard, a veritable luxury back then. There’s also a windshield, a rear-view mirror and a cover for the passenger side of the cabin in case it’s just you in this machine.

Engine

This 1939 BMW 328 Roadster packs a 2.0-liter straight six under the hood. Impressively for the time, the engine is fed via triple carburetors. This helped it make 79 horsepower, which was blistering way back then, as was the 93mph top speed. Remember this was at a time when your average family car had 50 horsepower or less, and speeds were much lower. A 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels.

1935 Ford Model 48 Deluxe 5-Window Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $53,297
Miles: 73,548
Estimated: $538.28/mo

The 1935 model year marked an important turning point for Ford, introducing a more streamlined design, improved suspension, and a refined version of the legendary flathead V8 that helped make affordable eight-cylinder performance accessible to American motorists. Nearly a century later, the Model 48 remains a celebrated example of prewar American automotive craftsmanship, particularly in the desirable Deluxe 5-Window Coupe configuration. This 1935 Ford Model 48 Deluxe 5-Window Coupe, showing 73,548 miles, comes finished in its original Coach Maroon color, complemented by a refurbished Brown cloth interior, red wire-spoke wheels, and distinctive wide whitewall tires. What truly sets this example apart is its remarkable history of AACA recognition, with the seller reporting Junior and Senior First Place awards, five Preservation awards, and a prestigious Grand National First Place award from the Antique Automobile Club of America. These distinctions are especially meaningful within the collector-car community, where authenticity, historical accuracy, and presentation are central to judging. Powered by Ford's celebrated 221ci flathead V8 and equipped with a three-speed manual transmission, a rear rumble seat, and a factory radio, this award-winning Deluxe Coupe combines prewar character with an impressive record of recognition among dedicated antique automobile enthusiasts.
