Vintage 1972 BMW Bavaria 'Think Fast' Print Advertisement — Original German Automotive Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1972 BMW Bavaria original print ad delivers one of the era's most confident automotive headlines: 'Think Fast.' — a direct challenge to American buyers from Bavaria's Hoffman Motors importer. The magazine advertisement showcases the imposing front grille of the BMW Bavaria sedan, a 130 mph, 3.0-liter, six-cylinder touring car BMW called a 'Wundercar.' Timed to coincide with the Munich Olympics, this collectible ad captures BMW's pivotal American market push before the brand became a household name, making it a compelling piece of German automotive history for serious collectors.
