MicroCar Museum

I wonder how much the 914 owes to the ideas embodied in these little cars?

Post your favorite car in this thread if you want. I really wish there were more cars available today with this level of simplicity, economy and style.

Talk about engine swaps...

That place is about 20 miles from me and I didn't know anything about it until last Monday. Got to make a trip over there.

I had planned to attend the show at the museum this year but when I looked visited the web site a week prior to the event I read that the event was not open to the public. Only those that registered a car in the show could attend.

I dont belive that was the case the previous year and may have been done in responce to the exposue that micro cars got in the movie Cars the previous year.
