So there I was in Oceano, Ca. (near Pismo Beach) on friday evening. They have closed off the main drag through town for an informal car show. There are old cars driving back and forth on the street. There are others parked in the parking lots nearby. Seems like a coincidence?
The street they were doing this on is....

Wait for it......

Grand!

I didn't have my smart with me, but there was one across the street. REAL red. 450. FOUR seats (somehow). All electric!

MSRP was $15,900.
60 mile range but only if you kept top speed to 25 - 35 mph (but capable of 60 mph tops).
It had the name "Noble" on the back.
Sold in San Luis Obispo by Revolution.

I got some pictures but it was dark and you can't see the seats inside.
Will post soon.

Is this a smart? All Electric. Has four seats. Say "noble" on the back. Different symbol on the front. Still looks like a 450 but is longer.

Four lug nuts too.

way down at the bottom of the page

Note the two differently sized scoops in the front, same as pics in previous post...

I'm not going to make it. I have the ultimate excuse though.... It's my wifes birthday and we're heading out to dinner.

However, we will be there on 8/8, along with more owners. getsmartusa will be joining the crowd.

"Things worked out great. There will be two new smart owners at the event on 8/8. Myself and another fellow Imperial Beach resident, Rocky.

We both picked our loaded Cabrio's a little over a week ago. One blu/sil, the other red/blk...

What a blast. We have most of the MOD’s done and looking forward to Crusin Grand on 8/8. Just to list a few…"
