A number of car companies have had strange endings. Tucker comes to mind right away. The demise of Borgward is just as controversial as Tucker's ending.
This car was posted today on a Facebook group called Obscure Cars For Sale. The person who posted it lives close to where the car is located. He believes the seller is "a mechanic who works only on classic cars." Whoever owns it took very good care of it.
The seller does not list a price, but despite their rarity and German heritage old Borgwards do not sell for huge money.

PS - In 2015 a grandson of Carl Borgward revived the Borgward name with a line of SUVs. Recently it introduced a new Isabella sedan. With Chinese investment money it looked like it might do well. But according to this recent Autoweek article, things are not going smoothly.
