It’s interesting to look at cars through the leans of history after WW2 America was thriving its cars were huge luxurious and loaded with chrom Europe was devastated by 2 world wars times were tuff there was a need for very affordable cars thus the micro car was born. A fascinating period in automobile history
Love the uneditied sound. Rarely do you get to hear these little, mostly 2-stroke, awesome little cars. P.S. if your 2-stroke smokes a lot, call me, I'll tune you up. They can and should run very clean. They aren't racebike engines.
I always wondered what it must have been like to be a German engineer during that time. One day your being asked to design the world's most powerful war machines and the next day being asked to design the smallest most efficient vehicles ever known..
Here in Europe (UK) many of these are just, y'know... cars? Seriously it's a shame that innovation, simplicity and spareness of this kind are no longer possible because we value human life a bit. Driving my dad's car in about 1966 I was slammed into from a side road by two kids in a Trojan/Heinkel Kabine 3-wheeler (the one where the only door is the whole front of the car and has the steering wheel attached -- similar to the BMW Isetta at 12:55 but not the same car): it didn't work out well for them in the knee department.
I watched a British restoration show where they restored a Messerschmitt tandem car, then drove it in London traffic. Scary, to say the least, even among small British cars! I flashed on driving one of those tiny sedans on a highway during a high wind and the thought of flying off into the roadside foliage guaranteed I'd go to heaven: it scared the hell out of me! Stay safe.
I raced against a little H-Modified (now G or H Sorts-racing) shingle, powered by 2-stroke engines: "Ring-a-dinga, ring-a-dinga!" in the pits, blue smoke trying to hide it, then a high-pitched, loud scream as he went by me after Turn 1. Came upon him in the next turn---with just his rear deck and Cowanda megaphone exhaust pipe sticking above the muddy water (it had rained heavily overnight and part of the morning).
Love these Bonus Footage videos, Dennis! If your crew can find more unused footage (from the season), please upload more.

Our friend in HS had a 72 Toyota Corona with the Mighty TC-3 motor, one guy could pick up on the back so he could do burnouts in the parking lot

Did any of them come with a funeral wreath from the factory?

Smartcars look BIG in that lineup!
It’s seems we humans use to be smaller then what we are now days 😲😮
I'd hate to be the guy on the smart car. All those old cool micro cars. Then you... Lol
I was thinking the same thing
Can you imagine trying to merge onto I-75 IN something like that Trident? 😳
a possible solution to the oil and climate crisis
The smart cars look huge.

I love the micro cars, but I know at 6'4'' and 360lbs I'll never be able to drive one, maybe after an Industrial accident
No Honda 360s? PS I would have towed that car behind the bike!
Cool small cars
small matters.
hey, I really want to know what the car that looks like a giant Peel P50 is, I think that one is so awesome. 11:20

Dennis ever attend a Malaise Daze? That era of beasts needs to be remembered.

Micro cars and micro dogs
Steve erkl car!
When did you record this? Where are the masks and social distancing?
This was shot in 2008. Waaaay pre pandemic.
@@MyClassicCarTV I think at least until we are not in a pandemic, you should state the date of the production.
