Vintage: Hebmüller convertibles -- the Borgward Hansa 1500 | Drive it!

When the Borgward Hansa 1500 convertible was introduced in 1949, it left other German cars in the dust. Models of Opels and Mercedes still looked like they did in the pre-war era. The Hansa was the first German car modeled on the curvy lines of its counterparts in the US. And it was a convertible. Drive it! takes one out for a summer spin.
