What's interesting about the Maico Coupe pictured, is that it is the only Maico Sport Coupe produced. The body was done in fiberglass by Swiss coach builder Beutler, who also did a few Porsches. In fact, this Maico looks like a scaled down Porsche Beutler. That one car was shipped to the U.S. for display at the April 1958 New York International Auto Show. While this was going on, Maico as a company imploded, with one of the Maisch brothers going to jail. That forced Maico to give up car production and return their focus to bikes. As a result, I'm convinced they didn't have the money to ship the car back to Germany. European microcar collectors today are unfamiliar with this car. Did it go to Pontiac, MI to reside at the importer Whizzer? Who has it now?
