A boat, a car and a train all in one picture.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

It is a BMW, but not a 502. Have a closer look.

What happened to the boat when the train reached a bridge or tunnel?  ;D

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes, but that is not enough. One visible detail can be used for a precise characterization.

I reckon the lack of vent windows is the characteristic you mention


BMW 501 B?

It is not the lack of vent windows, the 501 A didn't have any either initially, but it is the lack of chrome trim around the two small horizontal grilles beneath the headlights. But  you have correctly identified the car as a BMW 501 B.

Wendax, I think it is a 501 from the first series, round rim holes! From 501 A/B there were oval holes.

I took my information from Kieselbach's BMW 501/502 book.
