I stopped at a market to pick up a pop. Saw this parked out front. Talked to the guy for a few minutes. It's a 1 cylinder messerschmitt & has a top speed of 62 mph. It is one of 21 known left! Talk about a cool little car. Which he had to classify as a motorcycle in Oregon. Funny as they made him classify it as a motorcycle. They required him to get a motorcycle endorsement. Yet they wouldn't let him take the motorcycle test in the messerschmitt

Very cool, but I'm sure there are way more than 21 left, as 40K were built & over the years;

I have seen close to 20 at different show.. There are 2 currently for sale on Hemmings;
