Lovely old Borgward Isabella

The German sport sedan was born! In the 1950s, the Isabella was a cut above the competition in Germany -- in terms of both looks and technology. The car was both family-friendly and fun to drive. It could go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in 25 seconds and had a top speed of 135 kilometers an hour. That might not sound very impressive today, but in the '50s the Isabella could overtake more than half the cars on German roads.
