micro cars



Saturday we went to the Microcar and Minicar Show. Dozens of real, but tiny, cars from as far back as 1939: Messerschmidts, Fiats, Alpha Romeos, MiniCoopers, Smartcars (new), and many others with less familiar names.

Pictures from previous shows.

Many had 3 wheels, some had bubble-top opening doors, or front-opening doors where the steering wheel was double-jointed, attached to the opening door.

At one point the owners drove the cars around to pick up visitors for a short ride. As they moved past, I practiced fast sketching.
