I just watched a TV Show on PBS about Gameshows! They Had an Interview With Dick Van Dyke and they had a Picture of him on the Price is Right Set! He was the Firat person that NBC wanted to host the show! He turned it down and they hired Bill Culen!

That Isetta 300 seems as if it was a precursor to the Smart Car.

So why does it take so long to get concept cars on the road when they already existed? :0) Driving that thing must ha e been a hoot but I'll bet there were psychological issues (fears) of the front (with the steering wheel) suddenly opening while driving. IThat & the craze for bigger & heavier & longer doomed this little gem.

@thefairlysimple1 I think I would sacrifice some power to get over fifty miles to the gallon. These cars were very unique. Thanks for commenting.

@hwy61media i didnt know they made bubble cars in the 50's,well in sydney we didnt see any, lol but they have these little bubble car types everywhere now, i dont have one, but they are cute, but i guess the traffic wasnt as bad as it is now, i couldnt see myself in peak hour traffic in one of them. no way
