The rolled #13 bug I found at Familienfest 17 has some cool interior things to share with you

 the fenders, roof edges, and hubcaps look like they took the full brunt of a roll over crash... but hte car is in really good condition all the same... no damage to the windows!


 Cool glasses hanging from the rear view

 I love this radio, I've never seen one like it before... it would be perfect in a hot rod
 besides the radio I've never seen before, here is a tach I've never come across before
 Great book to have in the car for car show people to admire... I do. In the great days of wealth just before the great depression of 1929 it was common for rich people to "Make the Tour" and drive around Europe
terrific car, I had more fun looking at this one than all the rest

Digital radio available for all BMW model series with optional DAB tuner



All BMW models can now be equipped with audio systems that receive digital radio broadcasts from the new digital radio network in Germany. In early August, some 27 stations began broadcasting, and the digital network is expanding rapidly to serve all regions throughout the country. The only prerequisite for receiving digital radio transmissions in BMW vehicles is the optional DAB tuner that is available for all models. This receiver can be ordered as an optional accessory for all BMW series. Starting in 9/2010, BMW already offered support for DAB/DAB+ radio reception.



BMW customers can now enjoy the new digital programming without any restrictions. What's more, the digital sound quality is superb – without any interference, background noise, crackling or fading. The Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB/DAB+) tuner features easy channel preset and automatic station search functions so that drivers are not distracted – and this contributes to more traffic safety.







As the digital broadcasting network rapidly expands, the variety and range of information and entertainment programming will increase, even including a wide selection of special-interest channels. In Germany, there are currently 12 nationwide digital broadcasters that are listed and described on the Internet platform www.digitalradio.de. By visiting this website listeners can learn more about the “radio of the future”.



In addition to these 12 digital channels, there is a large number of regional stations that broadcast digital programming. The transmission range of these channels generally covers specific states or geographic areas. Local digital channels, the so-called city broadcasters, round off the digital programming experience. In metropolitan areas there are now more than 30 digital radio channels that broadcast programme content in CD audio quality that can be enjoyed in a BMW equipped with DAB/DAB+. What's more, the number of digital radio broadcasters continues to rise in Germany.





And when travelling in other European countries, BMW owners and their passengers also have the pleasure of listening to digital radio in crystal clear audio quality. In Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland there is a particularly wide variety of digital channels to choose from. In many other countries DAB is already a reality – and it is growing in popularity as the digital transmission network continues to expand. By offering this digital technology in all of its models, BMW is playing a leading role in promoting the “radio of the future”.

Clarion creates in-car nirvana



Clarion’s latest blockbusting in-car multimedia source units fuse performance, features and functionality, combining the latest in modern technology with unprecedented convenience, all within a single, superb-sounding product, available for either standard or double sized dashboard apertures.



The ‘standard’ single-DIN sized NZ501E unit featuring a 6.2” motorised flip-out screen, and its sister, the double-DIN sized NX501E receiver with integral 7” screen, support AM/FM radio, CD, DVD, MP3, AAC and WMA playback. TeleAtlas based SatNav is also provided, as well as connectivity for your iPod or iPhone and Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming via Parrot technology.







Notwithstanding a vast array of features, the products’ real appeal to a technology savvy consumer is its ease of use and ability to take mobile entertainment sources on the road, which is reflected in Clarion’s commitment to develop its comprehensive interactive GUI (Graphical User Interface).



Large animated icons work in harness with an intuitive rotary control on the NX501E while the NZ501E shares the same bold on-screen icons alongside key function buttons on the unit’s fascia.



In both systems, Flick Operation – common place in mobile phone and online magazine technology – allows the user to scroll through menus easily and effectively, while icons can be highlighted and dragged to alternative positions for a more customised appearance and set-up.



Also putting the GUI to good use is a comprehensive navigation package, populated by a TeleAtlas map database covering 44 countries, all stored on a mighty 8GB microSD card. In addition to the pre-installed data, new maps and content such as POI can be downloaded from Clarion’s dedicated portal site – navi extras – while there is a Latest Map Guarantee to provide a download of the most up-to-date data free of charge, upon registration of the product.



For the first time, Clarion has incorporated a Parrot Bluetooth module within its multimedia showcase, offering the widest level of compatibility with a variety of mobile phones and PDA’s, to facilitate hands-free communication via a built-in or optional stand-alone microphone, as well as wireless A2DP audio streaming via supported devices.



The pinpoint detail provided by the high-resolution WVGA LCD makes viewing of screen content clear and crisp…essential when you consider that both units can be hooked up to a rear vision camera in order to aide parking.



Both models also sound crystal clear, thanks to the powerful internal 4 x 50W amplifier, knocking out audio without missing a beat to deliver superb clarity amidst an authentic and realistic musical performance.



With enhanced opportunities to fine-tune the audio, via a pre-set three-band EQ that can be customised, and Magna Bass EX which boosts the lowest octaves for deeper bass, Clarion’s NZ501E and NX501 deliver high-tech in-car multimedia in a convenient and easy-to-operate package that does not compromise on quality.

What are the buttons under the radio? The numbered ones.

the paper in the window that describes the car descibe the car as having an optional Marine Band radio, is that what the numbered buttons are? Seems most likely

Lioncoln Premiere, when Lincoln cars had their own style and design department, and weren't cookie cutter fords or mercs with different nameplates

Notice the enormous running lights - turn signals in the bumpers, has to be the biggest I've ever seen on a car or truck



on the left side of the photo are the cool switch levers.. they might make a bitchin addition to a hot rod



What a big old barge, must be a great solid feeling tank of a ride.
