BMW 309 Convertible

The 4-seater convertible provided lots of space for driving with the wind coursing through occupants' hair. In common with all open-top vehicles, the comfortable seats were all upholstered in leather. The folding roof could be easily opened but then lay in a bulky package on top of the rear trunk. The side windows could only be partially retracted so they were usually left in the up position, which was undoubtedly beneficial for travelling comfort, particularly for the passengers sitting in the rear of the car. The closed soft top provided perfect protection against adverse weather conditions and the occupants had a clear view of the outside world through the rear side windows. Owing to the weak engine output, only a few purchasers opted for this otherwise popular body version.
