I love micro cars it’s a fascinating commentary in post war society . America was thriving its cars were huge Europe was recovering from a horrible war cars needed to be very inexpensive as times were tuff.
Also European countries had various tax laws that gave a big boost to small displacement and/or three wheel vehicles. Today Japan has (or had?) laws that give a big break to cars of certain minimal dimensions called Kei cars.
I had a Bond Minicar for about 2 years. Mine was an estate car version with a 250cc twin sports bike engine, which gave it a 60mph top speed and a lot faster acceleration than the basic 250cc single. Lack of a reverse gear was not a problem because the entire engine/transmission/front wheel unit turned a full 180 degrees from lock to lock. If you were in a tight parking situation, you could turn the steering to full lock and drive out sideways. It was great fun to put it in full lock in the middle of the road and go round in circles on the spot. It would have passers by in stitches.
I bought a electronic car for 2 and installed a motor off a new TRIUMPH GT I bought from a friend that just totaled his bike with less than 100 miles on it... You know how happy I am..
The rare cae is a the curious and quirky Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar had the honor of being the best-selling and highest-producing electric car in the United States ... greetings from Chile
Amazing little gems. I have a collection over thirty micro and bubble cars and looking at them gives me greatest joy. Full of character. I didn't know about anything about most of your fifteen described cars. Superb and most informative. Thank you very much
They left out the BMW built Isetta which was probably the smallest of the cars featured. I remember seeing it in Brooklyn, New York, in the late 1950s. It was a one seater with a front entry door.
You guys forgot the Peel P50, the recordholder for smallest car ever build 😂 (I want to say you forgot the Reliant Robin too, but I don't know if that counts as a microcar)
Did anybody check the subtitles in German? There are very many mistakes. I missed the BMW Isetta. Why didn't you show it. I think, it was the most important microcar ever.
Some people might say the trivia orange wedge is a CitiCar, but it is actually a 1980 Comuta-Car (built by the same company as the CitiCar but is a later version of it).
No 2 was best in the list and there were other good cars in it's background, maybe present t-rex quadracycle will one day give content for future videos.
I saw some of Professor Zundapp's relatives. I actually think they're quite cute, apart from the yellow & black one which looks like it works for Professor Zundapp!
I'm the Fountainhead Museum, in Fairbanks, there is a unique tiny car. It is the first Vehicle MADE in Alaska. Check it out; the story behind it is rather funny!
The December 2008 issue of "Thoroughbred & Classic Cars" had an article "Buy a Bond car", that sadly didn't include any cars manufactured by the company established by Laurie Bond. There were none of the single cylinder fwd trikes, no Triumph based 4 wheel Equipes or even the Reliant based Bond Bug, only Aston Martins, two Lotus Espris and a 72 Mustang Mach I. What were these alleged automotive journalists thinking???
Enjoyed video. The electric vehicle appears to be US made and came out in mid 1970. Also would like to see more US made such as the Henry-J and King Midget listed in early 1950 in Popular Science as a do it your self.
So many missed out mostly British classic like the thousands made Invacar or the 3 & 4 wheel Berkley not to mention the bond bug or Morgans ,think again
Next best thing to a motor bike for European city streets although a death trap in a heavy collision. The short 3 wheelers are known to be unstable and flip over in a sharp/ sloped turns.

At 12:52, that beautiful Pink 1956 Cadillac Fleetwod was one of the most desired car of those of us who couldn't afford it!
My husband was 1 years off.

I believe that it is the famous PINK Cadillac Elvis gave to his mother.

Doug DeMuro joined the chat.
Thank you- thankyouverymuch
That's a hot pink Cadillac in the Elvis Presley museum supposedly the one he gave to his mother
Trivia question 1: Vanguard Sebring Citicar (started by Bob Beaumont - built 1974 - 1977)
Trivia question 2: Elvis's 1955 pink Cadillac
Dr. Seuss must have used these cars for inspiration in his books. The Subaru 650 might have fit into this category as well.
I love you Allie.
I have always liked small cars, but not for traveling!!!!
Allie seems to have rectangular eyes..but strangely quite attractive
They left out the BMW built Isetta which was probably the smallest of the cars featured. I remember seeing it in Brooklyn, New York, in the late 1950s. It was a one seater with a front entry door.
Isetta franchi was an Italian design built in both Italy and Germany and had a tiny two kid back seat and two smaller adult front seat layout …
The AWS Shopper design reminds me of the Tesla Cybertruck 😂😂😂
Actually my favorite car of all time
the first one was a citi car I remember watching someone review one
Amazing mini vehicles that didnt make the cut. I
n those day anyway mb today.
No mention of the King Midget. It folded just 2 years before the gas crisis.
We may have featured it before, although I do not recall the King Midget. czcams.com/play/PLJmAwjBwlfgLjxHIGWOM7Gc4dqzDtzv9w.html
@@mindseyedesign It was in production for a number of years. Early versions had been in the 'golf cart' category.
@@dirtcop11 Interesting, I'll check it out. Thank you.
Wish you had featured the Bond Bug 3 wheel 2 seater. Learnt to drive in on end had fantastic acceleration! Roof lifted for access.
Fairly sure we featured that one in another video. czcams.com/play/PLJmAwjBwlfgLjxHIGWOM7Gc4dqzDtzv9w.html
You guys forgot the Peel P50, the recordholder for smallest car ever build 😂 (I want to say you forgot the Reliant Robin too, but I don't know if that counts as a microcar)
And the Hoffman and the Brooch moped
THANKS FOR THE MINI CARS VIDEO! THE CAR WERE ADORABLE AND I REALLY COULD NOT PICK A FAVORITE! I GUESS IF PUSH CAME TO SHOVE I WOULD TAKE NUMBER 1
Elvis' Cadillac.
1955 Sedan de Ville
For sure it's 1954 at the oldest (wrap-around windshield) and 1957 at the newest (1958's had quad headlights). Anything else to go by?
#3 looks like that because they used canopies from fighter planes.
Did anybody check the subtitles in German? There are very many mistakes.
I missed the BMW Isetta. Why didn't you show it. I think, it was the most important microcar ever.
4:31 comutacar from america
A.k.a Citi car
Amazingly, I got a Janus toy car as a kid. Still have it.
Both doors opened but as I remember, the steering wheel was attached to the door...
軽自動車は魅力的です♪
秀樹感激です=3
Trivia time: early 50s cadillac deville, probably Elvis Presleys one
Amazing, amazing, amazing and so darn cute most of them!!!!!!
The main reason I watched this was to see the BMW Isetta running. Where is it?
Only because we already featured it lol czcams.com/play/PLJmAwjBwlfgLjxHIGWOM7Gc4dqzDtzv9w.html
The pink and white car is a 1956 Cadillac it belonged to Elvis Presley and it is in the Graceland car museum in Memphis tn.
Some people might say the trivia orange wedge is a CitiCar, but it is actually a 1980 Comuta-Car (built by the same company as the CitiCar but is a later version of it).
NUMBER 14 IS ON MY I WANT SOMEDAY LIST! IT IS ADORABLE,
What an extraordinary collection of golf carts on steroids lol. 😁
Love your stuff!!!
I vote for Brütsch Mopetta
That car that the lady asked us about is a 1976 Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar.
Okay, now I'm pissed! How dare you create a list of "mini-vehicles" and leave out the "Messerschmitt KR200"?? COME ON MAN!!
No iseta either it was a good list but not comprehensive
Nor did I see the Crosely Hotshot, etc
These cars have featured in other videos by these guys.
You mean this Messerschmitt? Lots of fun czcams.com/video/k71NmCJfvfo/video.html
Don't forget the bond bug!!
4:40 Sebring vanguard citicar
From:USA
Year:1970's
Human ingenuity...
Thank you for posting. Kind regards from New Zealand
Our pleasure!
First orange car is grandfather of Tesla's cyber truck
I never thought I'd see a car made in Preston, England

The Lane museum on Nashville has a lot of these mini cars.
I love Alie 😍😍😍
1962 El Dorado I almost bought one
What changed your mind?
Surprisingly you failed to mention the King Midget as a contender and arguably a long production run
I know it's a Jonie cab taxi
God bless you
Georgie
AKA The Death Trap !
The Pink Caddy Elvis gave to his mother?
First trivia picture; it's a Bond bug
I’m surprised you didn’t include the little three wheel BMW where the entire front was the door. Good video. Thanks.
Incredibly good suggestion. However, that's one we have featured in the past l czcams.com/play/PLJmAwjBwlfgLjxHIGWOM7Gc4dqzDtzv9w.html
the isetta?
NUMBER 9 WOULD BE PERFECT FOR HALLOWEEN! LOL
This is a Tavria Pinguin at the 80's
I thought number 8 was a toy car when I saw it first.
I doubt I would drive it on any public roads. jalopnik.com/meet-americas-smallest-ugliest-car-the-eshelman-1827323999
Trivia, with a number of the Bond cars you had to open the bonnet & put your leg in so you could "Kickstart" the engine.
That sounds painful imm11 bttww
Cadillac Eldorado
Cadillac rosa da mãe de Elvis presley! !!!
1957 Cadillac Fleetwood. The gas tank is opened by a button on the tail light.

1955-56 Cadillac
I'm the Fountainhead Museum, in Fairbanks, there is a unique tiny car. It is the first Vehicle MADE in Alaska. Check it out; the story behind it is rather funny!
It's an all-electric car which used about 6 batteries. It was known as the Citicar.
The December 2008 issue of "Thoroughbred & Classic Cars" had an article "Buy a Bond car", that sadly didn't include any cars manufactured by the company established by Laurie Bond.

Vanguard Citicar electric vehicle from mid 1970s is the answer to your first trivia time question. Second - Elvis Presley's 1955 Cadillac.
elli you are just a luverly person
Pink Cadillac 1950 something!

Bien.
Manquent au moins Messeschmit et Isetta.

Cadillac Biarritz
the Flincher and Freeway remind me of the Velorex.
About the 2nd trivia, isn't it the car from the thriller movie "Christine" except the windows are not tinted black.
No man christine was a 1957 plymouth fury with factory six pack. The pink car is a caddy.
From what movie?
John carpenters christine? Or the pink caddy? Have no idea about that Cadillac.
Christine was Red
