Isetta
Isetta Karavan
Wow. Two posts in a row about cars. While that might be a first for me, I can’t help the fact that I find the BMW Isetta to be one of the silliest and coolest little cars I’ve ever come across. Those Germans were on to something with this vehicle. I think they need to bring this one back for 2007. The best feature of the car is that the entire front of the car opens up to let the driver and passenger in. Cary Grant illustrates this feature with tremendous class in this posh photo. You can see and read more about the Isetta at the Microcar Museum. While your at the museum don’t miss this great 8mm film about the Peel Trident, another forgotten card. The Peel Trident had three wheels and a bubble top. Watch how the people get in and out of the car. Also, build your own Isetta from a cut out.
