2010 LUMMA Design BMW 7 Series


The unique aerodynamics package from LUMMA Design comes with selected applications made from genuine carbon and 22 inch light alloy wheels ensure that the BMW 7 Series with its noble finish exhibits independence while staying true to its sportiness. The fact that LUMMA Design has a sense of BMW’s design language already becomes apparent in the front spoiler bumper. The curvature of the bonnet...

Great stuff from the Packard Auto Museum courtesy of Ted Guthrie.


Here's Bruce, with a German-made Horex moped, which he just unearthed. The little putter features zero miles, having never been fueled. Bruce himself is well-known for his restroration work on Indians and numerous other brands, as well as his extensive collection of BMW's and other German bikes.






This sculture, which sits in the lobby of the museum, not only shows the design of Packard automobiles' famous hood ornament, but also lists some of the manufacturer's innovations in the auto industry.






Here's a couple of real oldies. Just visible to the left is one of the first Packard automobiles ever produced. It runs - regularly.




Check out that gorgeous Indian sidecar rig. To the right is one of the Packard family's personal cars, dating to the 30's, plus two 50's-era concept cars in the back.





Another fabulous Indian. Look closely and you can see that the pinstriping and the tank graphic are all hand-painted. Big Packard limo in the back.





Check out these two Ariels. Square Four in the front, and a twin behind it. Fabulous restos.





Cool, Maico streetbike from the 50's. Get a load of all the interesting features. Leading-link forks, all-enclosed bodywork, gorgeous paint & graphics, crankcase induction, big, comfy seat, bar-end turn signals. Also, how 'bout the chicken-coop-find BMW R25 behind and to the left?


There is much more to see at the Packard museum, plus they are preparing to open a huge addition. Note that the motorcycle displays run from January - April, each year. For more information, go to: http://packardmuseum.org

The improved engine capability of the K motor figures to enhance the already solid GT touring platform. Tuned for power output on the lower end, the K1300GT taps out at 160 hp at 9000 rpm and 99 lb-ft of torque at 8000 rpm. Again, engine changes carry over with the other K models. ABS comes standard, with ESA II and ASC optional. Also changed is a new adjustable windscreen.
