That older packard and the older caddy still stir my soul. Those two rides would NOT look out of place just about anywhere today. The haven't seen-looks like an early attempt at an Isetta. RIDE SAFE.

It was over run with Caddies from that era. Along with the convertible there was a 2 door and a 4 door I spotted from a distance as it was leaving.

"1975 Mini Comtesse
The microcar boom in France in the 1970's encouraged a proliferation of local manufacturers producing vehicles which could be driven without licenses. Acoma was a major player, with sales totalling 30 % of the market.

The odd styling, folding gullwing door on one side and regular door on the other, and dangerous instability didn't hurt sales at all. The single powered front wheel was helped by a pair of "training" wheels to improve safety. Brakes were to the rear wheels only. Various "improved" models were produced."

A single cylider engine. Bet it would scoot with six! Good luck stopping.

I should have known that. I've been to the Micro Car museum

In France you could drive these little cars after you get a DUI.

The young guys she was with were Oohing and Ahhing about Lamborghinis when I overheard her say "I LIKE that car" and then walked up to the one I was taking photos of.

I wanted to tell her she had great taste but bottled.
