Vintage Micro Cars

I have a hsitory with micro cars going back to Subari 360s and Fiat 600s. I started driving 'small' (not quite micro) vintage 60s and 70s VWs and a '63 MG. I thought I would post picts of some of my favorite micros (no, these were not mine...just collected example images):

1958 Fiat Multipla

There is going to be a Microcar meet in Merriam, KS (KC metro area) April 20. In previous years, I have seen Isettas (both 300 and 600) Binachina's, Honda 600.... The qualification is under 1000 cc. I'll post more information in the Kansas City forum next week.

CK: Is the Honda 600 you mentioned the S-600 Roadster or a small hatchback/coupe?

That Bianchina? My sister had one when I was young. She and her girlfriend would drop me and a friend at the movies in it. LOL

I owned one of these back in the day. Honda 600
