This BMW 502 is standing on a scrapyard in Switzerland.
Although only 23000 examples were built between 1952 and 1964, the "Barockengel" was, just as the 507, important for BMW to find it's role in the car market after the war.
Nowadays, this model is so rare that even in the condition of the pictured example a restauration could be worth consideration, as good examples cost about 50000€.
After such a treatment, the now abandoned car could look like that one again:

(Two pictures from the seller (the scrapyard))

This Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (Type 14) has been photographed on a historical car scrapyard in Switzerland. The car has been produced between 1955 and 1974, the one in the picture is an early model built before 1959, as you can recognize from the small grille. Full of dirt and moss, this coveted classic sure is a heavy project for a restauration.
Nevertheless, someone actually bought it, when all cars on the scrapyard were sold. According to the seller, it is the 1958 model.
