    Press Release AT MERCANTEINFIERA AN EXHIBITION TELLS (ALSO) THE STORY OF THE OTHER BMW LIFE, THE RED PROPELLER The stars of the eighth edition of Mercanteinauto are the legendary 6-cylinder inline BMWs and a much sought after EMW 340 with red propeller. The first edition of “Parma’s 100 km Rally”, with rural itineraries and a visit to the Dallara Academy, gets underway. The excitement continues at the exhibition with the Ferrari pit-stop, an event organized by the Scuderia Ferrari Club of Monticelli Terme. (Parma, 23 September) What hides behind the sparkling bodywork of a vintage car? Who has driven it and, above all, what is its story? The latter is embodied in the red propeller of the EMW 340, the protagonist of the eighth edition of Mercanteinauto, the event for car enthusiasts featuring at Fiere di Parma during the opening weekend (5-6 October) of Mercanteinfiera, the international exhibition dedicated to antiques, modern antiques and vintage collectibles (5-13 October). At the end of World War II, Germany had to cede control of Thuringia to the Soviet Union, and with it the city of Eisenach, historic headquarters of BMW car production. Awtowelo, the Soviet-controlled East German factory, used the BMW trademark illegally until 1952, when the Bavarian company forced the managers of the Eisenach plant to change it. From that time, their cars were branded as EMW (Eisenacher Motoren Werke). Their symbol was a red propeller. One of the rare models with this trademark will be on display at the exhibition. The car comes from Claudio Baroni’s Old Cars Collection, as do the legendary 6- cylinder inline BMWs on display at the exhibition in Pav.
