World’s Smallest Taxi
I just thought this was such a unique car that I should write about it. Caranddriver.com just featured this car on their website with alittle background of the person who custom built this. A man, Chuck Miller, of Michigan designs and builds custom cars for a living. He bought the BMW Isetta many years ago for $1500. Miller had just seen the same kind at an auction sell for $41,000. He then sat on this car for like 13 years not doing anything to it. He said that he thought the Isetta was one of the ugliest cars he’d ever seen, “so ugly it was kindof cute.” Then Miller came up with the taxi idea for something fun to design and here we have the world’s smallest taxi, the 1957 BMW Isetta 300. According to Miller, it gets great gas mileage, and is actually for sale, but you can’t really get a ride in it as a taxi. Too bad, I bet Miller would have a really good business in Michigan if he started a taxi service with the Isetta. I might use it, just to say that I was in the world’s smallest taxi!
