Neat find. I particularly like the Kleinschnittger models.

Good site Frenchy!

I remember those Isettas in the mid 50s
when they were given away to a buyer of
a new Buick locally.

Three wheels, entrance from the whole front
which opened up for up to two passengers.

Sure would be neat to have one today. In
fact, it would make sense due to the price
of petro.

Neat site. I remember the parking meter maids driving them around passing out tickets. Don't remember what make they were, but I thought they were cool.

While it's cool as all hell, I don't think they would be catching much in this:

The librarian at the local library drove a '57 Isetta, she bought it new. I was 7 at the time and thought it was neat.

I remember the Subaru 360 quite well. I recall a standard joke with them was 4 jocks would pick them up in the parking space they were in and turn them sideways, so the owner was stuck when he returned to the car.

They were used at a small track outside of the Orange County Raceway. The slalom course was bordered by hay bales.

The pickup trucks were used a lot at golf courses.
