The car that nobody knows about…

Great video! Keep it up!!

A guy in our town bought one of these. I remember seeing him drive it around town while running errands, just like your documentary said. It didn't seem like much at the time, but in light of the cost of a new Tesla, the Citicar seems like a real bargain now. Great documentary format, keep up the good work!

That’s AWSOME you got to see one in real life, your sure right about it being like a small Tesla at the time. Thank you😁

I grew up in rural Oregon in the 70s and 80s, there were two of these - one red, the other yellow - in my smallish mill town, owned by the same family. As a kid who was always fascinated with all things internal combustion I couldn't really grasp the concept at the time, but they added to the general futuristic - but also very... analog? - vibe of the era for sure. Like watching DEVO on broadcast tv, on a CRT. That's also hooked up to my C64 and occasionally a rented VHS player. Good times.

Great video, Toshi! I had never heard of this car before, looks cool. Like a 70s version of the BMW Isetta...

I had one, a 1976, in red. 48V, side curtains. Was not the "Deluxe" model that could have come with an opening rear hatch or propane heater. (both added-cost options) Drum brakes all around (press and pray) And 12 inch wheels & tires usually found on boat trailers. Bob Beaumont was the Chrysler/Plymouth dealer in my home town, and as a kid I remember seeing the orange prototype scooting around in traffic. Solenoid controller delivered a loud "thwack" sound with each speed change. Simple flip switch gave same top speed in reverse. Wonderfully Dreadful little car.

Did you write and edit this whole thing yourself? Barring some grammatical improvements, this is a very well formed essay. Good job.
