In 1964-65 when Muscle Cars when being brought to life and my High School parking lot was full of new 427 Galaxies,396 Chevelles and Impalas,GTO's,Buick GS's,4-4-2's (Hey Warren !) and the Mustangs....

I drove a '58 VW Beetle and Tommy Lee Jones drove the...
BMW Isetta (1955-62)
Value: $30,000 - $60,000

An early example of a microcar, or a city car, the Isetta fared even less well in the U.S. market than the Smart ForTwo, a modern example, has in recent years.

The ultra-tiny Isetta was actually a big hit in post-war Europe, where it fit the need for ultracheap transportation that could run on narrow roads using very little fuel. In the United States, however, it was bust.
That only makes it more desirable today. For many buyers, the Isetta is a sort of "comic relief" in their collection of otherwise fine cars, Hagerty said."

We were regulated to the far end of the lot.

Have to say it was always fun watching him get in & out of that tiny car.
