We had a Goggommobil like that red one in the UK an the early 70s. Ours was pale blue. 293 cc air cooled 2-stroke (premix) twin cylinder engine in the rear with its transaxle, crash box with synchro on 1st, no fuel gauge but it had a reserve tap in the engine compartment. 2 seat plus 2 kids in the back, suicide doors, seatbelts exempt (nowhere to mount them) hot air heating. Went well for what it was and the engineering was excellent. They got imported into the UK during the Suez Crisis.
The car you said was "wood chip" powered, is actually a "wood gas" powered car. Strange process of burning wood, then powering the engine off of the result from that. Its strange and complicated. But very rare to see an example in a museum. I envy you on that one.

Post war production museum. Lots of old school and cool stuff.
