As the first thumbnail shows it has the cowl-hinged alligator hood opening in one piece that was introduced on this model in mid 1952. The former EMW 327/1 built from 1948 to 1952 and prewar BMW 327 Cabriolets had lateral opening hood panels ,those being fixed on a central bar .Whereas the EMW 327/1 and BMW 327 had rear hinged " suicide" doors ,the EMW/2 Cabriolet had front hinged doors opening in the safe direction as seen here

Actually all Cabriolets had these. The suicide doors were only on the earlier Coupé versions. I'd say the car shown here is a pre-war BMW, because of the trafficator that is clearly visible in the third thumbnail (between hood and door). The post-war models had indicator lights under the headlamps, and no trafficators anymore. See also Ralphs comment about the shape of the hood here: /vehicle_68155-BMW-327-Cabriolet-1937.html (he says the the EMW hood opens without taking the side grille with it). -- Last edit: 2009-12-08 16:38:18
