R Walling Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Cool 50s car. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Maybe fun, but quite dangerous. Also...how do the other cars get out of their spaces with that little thing in the way? I guess they could simply hoist it up onto the sidewalk. It figures that it came out the year I was born. So many goofy things came out in 1952. Thanks for that video!

Guest abh3usn Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Cool. At the 15 second mark it looks like it almost got hit by a bus! Similar to the Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Ah yes the bubblecar fad of the 50s. It looks like the German Brutsch Mopeta. There were hundreds of different bubblecars offered, the best remembered are the Isetta and Messerschmidt.I think England still had a 20MPH speed limit then which would limit the carnage. But if you lived thru the Blitz you probably brushed off the risk of car accidents anyway. People weren't so safety obsessed.It would be a different world if the bubblecars caught on and the SUVs didn't. Back then it must have seemed that they would. The chance of 6000 pound Jeeps being best sellers never would have occurred to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elmo39 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 it shouldn,t be dangerous to drive if all the other idiots on the road watched where they were going and obeyed the road rules ! yep thinking on it , it would be dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Or if all the other cars on the road were bubblecars, with the occasional VW beetle representing the "big cars".And no 6000 pound SUVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elmo39 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 okay what gives the biggggg cars more right over the littlies , i f there are road rules to obey they cover (or should do )big cars as well as little ones , if the big guy,s don,t obey the rules that makes them arrogant . tongue in cheek!perhaps this is why the jap cars are taking over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
