Vehicle Description
1957 BMW Isetta- IZZY Runs and Drives out great...if you can shift
gears with your left hand. The car was engineered to have a single
access point, with the entire front of the vehicle acting as a
single-hinged door, which also carried the steering wheel and
instrument panel with it as it opened. What the car lacked in
speed, as the result of its small engine and low horsepower, it
made up for it efficiency. Initial estimates of the Isetta's fuel
economy were up to 50 miles per gallon, and unheard of amount for a
car of its generation. In 1954, Iso SpA began pursuing licensing
deals for the vehicle with other manufacturers and ultimately
reached such a deal with BMW who not only purchased the licensing
rights but the Isetta's complete body tooling as well. Shown by
