Here in the big state of Texas, everyone loves big luxury sedans. When you look on the streets in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, by the count BMW sedans are considered some of the best since there are so many around with the big 5 and 7 series out sizing even some of the traditional american luxury boats. Most of those owners don't know that the firm used to build one of the most unusual and tiniest of the subcompacts around. The Little Isetta 300 which was so small it only had one door and it opened forward.
Dick Coup has restored one and gets a laugh wherever he goes with it. When he climbs out past the steering wheel it is completely understandable. It makes the ultimate clown car, but I doubt that you could fit more than the suggested number of occupants regardless how unusual their costumes are.

A turnkey to amuse kids, and a number 3 for the adult race fans. |

Dick Coup gets a chuckle from the unusual entry.
