Fun!

I noticed his was not the only three-wheeler. There was an MP3 in the crew.

My eighth grade shop teacher had a Messerschmidt. He brought it to school one day.

I think that the last time I spotted a Messerschmitt microcar, was in the movie, Brazil.

If I recall correctly, it didn't end well for the little bugger.

They were great. Had used 1957 and new 59----better than bike or scooter in winter---had heater and you could listen to radio! take front seat out and you could sleep in it....nice when you had no money. electric start, 2 sets of points, engine ran backwards for reverse.

Before this, I thought of a Messerschmitt was only a plane. Thanks for posting!
