The BMW 600 is similar to the Isetta but enlarged to fit a whole family. A lengthened wheelbase and body allowed for a four-seat configuration and extra door, but the expansion made the car larger and heavier, so a new power plant was added to compensate. The name “600” refers to the 582-cc twin-cylinder engine (derived from the R67 motorcycle), which had a top speed of 62 mph. BMW’s first postwar, four-seat, economy car, the 600, led to the creation of the successful BMW 700. Duane Suanders, owner, said, “About a year after I finished corking the Isetta and halfway through corking my map of Europe, my 1958 restored BMW 600 was calling out to be corked. I decided to dust off the Dremel tool and get to work…..I must have improved my corking technique, because I completed my second corked classic in only seven months! The 600 used about 3,000 corks, and I enjoyed the creative challenge. I have displayed my corked 600, along with the corked Isetta, at several car shows, art shows and wine festivals over the last few years. The favorites in my collection are the corked cars, for obvious reasons.” Duane has lent his 600 to be displayed alongside the BMW Isetta he sold to MDCC in 2018. On loan from Duane Saunders.
