    My Dad owned an Isetta in Red with white interior in 1960. Brand new and fun to ride it! As a child, my brother drove it to school when he was 8 years old!

    The Testarossa is the most beautiful car ever, all curves and latent power, but the bubble cars are more interesting! Great video, thanks for posting!

    Some of those vehicles like the Stout Scarab and the PE50 and the Isetta can be found in the Stahls Automobile Museum in New Baltimore Michigan. It also has some REO Speedwagons and some movie cars like the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Car and the 2 cars driven by Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in the movie The Great Race!👍

    The Norman Timbs Special is a great discovery for me. This is the first time I am seeing this masterpiece. One of my favorite cars ever designed is the Mercury Lead Sled, I think it would fit perfectly on your list.

    I just love these unique and oddball designs for cars. Every one of them here is either silly or amazing. I laughed when seeing the Isetta because I remembered it from "Family Matters" as Steve Urkel's car. But that Lamborghini Egoista, I think I'm in love! From the moment I saw it I thought it looked like it dropped down from Cybertron. Those lines and angles are a thing of beauty. Now I suddenly want to see models and toys for it since I can never have the real thing. Ideally one of those larger diecast cars but I would settle for a Hot Wheels or a Lego Speed Champion version.

  • @michaelolsen2348
    @michaelolsen2348 5 місяців тому +3

    Honestly, they need to come out with something similar to that Isetta for regular people like me. Affordable and will get you where you need to go. Cars now are WAY out of my price range, and especially these concepts now costing hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Car companies obviously don't know they can make billions of dollars selling small, basic, cheap cars.

    In Grandpa’s Isetta i could sit behind the front seat row when i was about 4 years old. So we were 3 Person’s in it. I’m not sure that was allowed but we felt it was. I loved the front door.

  • @PaulMartin-gr3xf
    @PaulMartin-gr3xf Місяць тому +1

    When I went to university in the early 1970's, in Sydney Australia; one of my fellow students had a Messerschmidt that he used to come to class. It was supercool!

    While in grade school in the late 1950s-early 1960s, the father of one of the girls in school had a green Isetta that he would bring her to school in, some of the mornings. The engine was a 2-stroke, and had the RING-DING-DING-DING sound to it. I was actually embarrassed for her...
    Then about 10 years ago, I find out that the man (now deceased) who owned the company I now work for, a wholesale pharmaceutical distributorship, also owned the Shreveport Isetta dealership in the late '50s-early '60s. Small world.

    I think the Carabo is the most beautiful thing on four wheels ever created. Does anyone remember an American concept car from the '60s called The Illusion? It was a single seater with an assymetrical body, crazy!

  • @MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage
    @MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage 6 місяців тому +10

    The Stout Scarab is cool. I love the design. It would be cool to see one sitting beside an early Chrysler Airflow.
    The Chrysler Gilda looks so sleek and cool with the fins. I wonder how fast it would go?
    The Ford Speedster also looks great. I'm sure it inspired later 1930's race cars like those driven in Indy.
    I have the Deora as a Hotwheels car and a 1/25th scale model kit from MPC. The opening door on the model kit fits so badly though.
    The Bertone looks soo cool...but I'd hate to drive it in that reclined position, especially on a long drive.
    The Norman Timbs Special looks like a tear drop with fenders. It's cool.
    I love the Carabo. My Dad has a book with it in there. I love the color of it.
    Too bad you didn't include the American Motors AMX III supercar that was designed in Italy.

    instead of calling it BMW Isetta, it should be called Iso Isetta, from the company that also made Iso Griffith, the fastest car of its time. Weird combination of cars they made.

  • @emitindustries8304
    @emitindustries8304 10 місяців тому +14

    One reason why the Isetta was so small was that after WWII, materials were scarce. Less metal was available for the body, and all the other parts. You could probably make 2 Isettas from the metal that'd make a full sized BMW sedan. Gas was scare to.

  • @konrad3505
    @konrad3505 5 місяців тому +2

    Some scenes about the BMW Isetta don't Show the Isetta but the BMW 600, which was a 4 später. Like the Isettta It had a door in its front for the Driver and one passenger and one additional sidedoor for two fürther passengers.

    Im surprised the Isetta ( modernized tech) didnt come back to compete with Mercedes Smart Cars . They're are practical little ergonomic cars. . And doing 60 mph downtown is still considered acceptable . Except by the law .🚔

    My uncle had a BMW Isetta. When I was a kid, it sat in the back of my Grandpa's shop. and all of us grand kids would sit in it and pretend to drive. No idea whatever happened to it. I know they moved it to a semi trailer my grandpa used as a storage container to make more room in the shop, but don't know what happened to it after that.

    I once saw the 1959 Firebird III concept car, code name: XP-73, at the Sloan Museum in Flint, MI. I checked their site and it doesn't look like it's there at the moment. It had TWO bubble canopies and looked 100 times better than the Firebird I concept car IMO. It has a fiberglass body with seven short wings and tail fins, more than a real jet! They went crazy with the fins. And instead of a steering wheel, it had a joystick between the seats. Wikipedia has 2 pictures of it, and pics of the Firebird I and Firebird II. The 1956 Firebird II, code name: XP-43 was fugly, but the Fierebird III made up for it. It was so futuristic looking, it would look at home in a science fiction movie made today.
