Happy little video.

I love micro cars it’s a fascinating commentary in post war society . America was thriving its cars were huge Europe was recovering from a horrible war cars needed to be very inexpensive as times were tuff.

[@emjayay]

Also European countries had various tax laws that gave a big boost to small displacement and/or three wheel vehicles. Today Japan has (or had?) laws that give a big break to cars of certain minimal dimensions called Kei cars.

At 12:52, that beautiful Pink 1956 Cadillac Fleetwod was one of the most desired car of those of us who couldn't afford it!

The pink and white car is a 1956 Cadillac it belonged to Elvis Presley and it is in the Graceland car museum in Memphis tn.

I had a Bond Minicar for about 2 years. Mine was an estate car version with a 250cc twin sports bike engine, which gave it a 60mph top speed and a lot faster acceleration than the basic 250cc single. Lack of a reverse gear was not a problem because the entire engine/transmission/front wheel unit turned a full 180 degrees from lock to lock. If you were in a tight parking situation, you could turn the steering to full lock and drive out sideways. It was great fun to put it in full lock in the middle of the road and go round in circles on the spot. It would have passers by in stitches.

No mention of the King Midget. It folded just 2 years before the gas crisis.

Pink Cadillac- Elvis' moms car at Graceland

[@amenhotepavoskin1307]

What is that bull crap about "not officially sold to non-disabled people"? (8:39). The SMZ S3A were meant not for ANY disabled people, but specifically for disabled Soviet WWII veterans. These cars were distributed to the veterans through district military commissariats for a 2-year term and then replaced with new cars. Both distribution and replacement were very tightly controlled by the commissariats. So, your "unofficial sales" is nothing but a piece of vicious slander.

[@williamwurthmann1573]

I believe that it is the famous PINK Cadillac Elvis gave to his mother.

[@darwinskeeper421]

The December 2008 issue of "Thoroughbred & Classic Cars" had an article "Buy a Bond car", that sadly didn't include any cars manufactured by the company established by Laurie Bond. There were none of the single cylinder fwd trikes, no Triumph based 4 wheel Equipes or even the Reliant based Bond Bug, only Aston Martins, two Lotus Espris and a 72 Mustang Mach I. What were these alleged automotive journalists thinking???

[@philipfieldhouse9229]

Wish you had featured the Bond Bug 3 wheel 2 seater. Learnt to drive in on end had fantastic acceleration! Roof lifted for access.

They left out the BMW built Isetta which was probably the smallest of the cars featured. I remember seeing it in Brooklyn, New York, in the late 1950s. It was a one seater with a front entry door.

[@chrisbraid2907]

Isetta franchi was an Italian design built in both Italy and Germany and had a tiny two kid back seat and two smaller adult front seat layout …

I have always liked small cars, but not for traveling!!!!
