Description of 1957 BMW Isetta 300 Sliding window with rear Cabriolet

Hello and thank you, for looking at this rare, 1957 Isetta 300 Cabriolet.The story is, that the original owner purchased this at BMW of Kansas City in 1957, and used it to promote his night club, Bali Hai Inn, Lincoln, NE. The original color of Baby Blue, was immediately changed to the cream color you see here. The original paint is evident on the interior panels, as well as the inside of the engine cover, and original undercarriage. The cream color also was a better background for the fabulous, "Bali Hai" graphic, complete with a cool, South Pacific style font, and Palm Tree. The graphic was done by Jack McDonald Signs, Lincoln, NE. I have tried to contact the company, using Google, but the phone numbers listed, are all out of service.
Originally purchased to give a ground up restoration, but decided that the 1957 art work and color combination were too cool to destroy.
This is the first time the car has been offered for sale, in a truly public fashion. I have searched the web for another Cabriolet, currently for sale, and I believe this is the only one, that I know of, at least. Many of our auctions end with the Buy It Now, as our prices are fair, and our shipping quotes are very competitive, as well. We start all of our reserve auctions, very low.
