    Had to look that one up Beekman...very cool.

    Here's a great little video ( I love the Isetta, there used to be a scrap yard near where I grew up with one of these on the roof).

    There were a lot of Isettas produced (around 150,000). Thery were a post WW2 necessity, and while loved by some they were disposed of as soon as raw material availability and the economies of Italy and other European countries recovered enough to build larger cars at an affordable price. It really is one of the best microcar designs, which is why so many companies bought licenses from Iso SpA ( I love oddball machines).
