<p>[quote user="Seamonster"]</p> <p>Ulrich, I haven't seen one of those for 50 years. Back in high school at the end of the '50s one of the cool kids had one of those and drove it to school. It sure got a lot of attention from the students. One time one of the students who was quite large and very strong held onto the back end when the driver tried to move and he wasn't going anywhere. Those cars sure didn't weigh much. They probably didn't go very fast and I'm sure they got great mileage. Thanks for bringing back an old high school memory.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Bob - the top version had about 20 hp and a top speed of 75 mph. Fuel consumption was equal to a VW Rabbit of recent manufacture - not really a good value, given to what the VW offers in terms of performance.</p>
