It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

I bet the NTSB would give that an interesting crash worthiness report.
Turn your head and cough ! 🤣😆
Isetta's have been collectable for yrs.
I lived in a college town in the early 60'S.....there were two of those in town, both driven by Professors as I recall....They got picked up and moved by students from time to time....😀
I think I remember a reference at the BMW museum in Munich to those as the refrigerators based on the look of the door.
use to be a local tv host , the ones that use to interduce movies and comment a long gone part of TV some were good at what they did .
any why he dressed as a clown and always had clips of him driving the car I would guess just part of his act for the show or as promotional attention getter
I have seen the TV " pickers" run across the small mini car collectors and the prices are crazy and from what they said going up
Looks like it would get you around a golf coarse OK.
This car was also featured in the TV show 'Family Matters' as driven by Urkel.
Best.
I always thought they were Italian. Several around my college town too.
I saw quite a few of them when I was stationed in Germany (59/61) but the odder cars were the Messerschmitt Kabinenrollers. Gasoline was cheap for us (ten cents a gallon on post) but very high for the Germans @ around 1.25 DM/liter making it about 5 times higher than in the US. They did however pay MUCH less for insurance. My BMW R-25 cost me around $6/yr.
It's so butt ugly that I can certainly see where one would think that.
