Exterior
Straight out of the mid 50’s red and cream 2 tone paint, which is near perfect,
. Bumpers all have a mirror-like finish.
Solid windows and greenhouse glass leave a field of exterior viewing almost panoramic with all the curved glass.
A small new canvas sunroof is seen on top.
New luggage rack with rattan picnic basket.
10-inch wheels are wrapped by miniature 4.80-10’s front tires and 205/50R10 tires on the rear. This car sports 4 wheels as some of these cars were produced with only 3 wheels.
The original cream colored wheels will accompany the car to its new owner.
Interior
Extremely simple yet comfortable and roomier than one might imagine, a newly upholstered single smooth vinyl gray bench seat.
Turn signals,
Column mounted speedometer
Fender mounted reverse pattern, 4-speed manual shifter.
A mini trio of pedals surrounds the steering column on the floor, and surprisingly accommodates the largest of shoe size.
Drivetrain
A BMW 298cc motorcycle engine increased from 13 to 14 hp. (DOES NOT SMOKE OR BURN OIL)
A 1-barrel Bing carburetor feeds this air cooled popper
4-speed manual transmission propels you efficiently forward.
A 6.24 rear gear ratio helps get the car up to speed.
Undercarriage with powder coated frame.
4-wheel drum brakes,
Independent coil spring front suspension, and a swing arm rear suspension.
No surface rust could be seen.
A top-notch restoration leaving nothing unaccounted for, a real rare classic and to be in this condition, all working and nearly perfect, this is a true find.
(The original muffler was removed because of an internal rattle, it was replaced with a motorcycle muffler that has the same sound as the original) The original muffler will accompany the car to its new owner.
