The early '60s BMWs were really those designed in the '50s and did not fare well in the post-war market, nearly causing bankruptcy and ruin for BMW.
Some Neue Range designs initially had huge long grilles and were fairly immediately modified with smaller grilles into what we now consider beautiful and timeless designs:
Now if you go back to the '30s you'll find the heritage as shown in some of the most valuable vintage BMW models but that was nearly 100-years ago and cars were taller. You don't have to go too much later to see the grille shrink into another of the most valuable vintage BMWs today.
