Unique Little Car Show

Unique Little Car Show
click photo to enlarge	The city I live in, Upland, CA., hosted the 31st annual Unique Little Car Show. And the cars were small and unique that's for sure. There were a number of vehicles I had never seen before and it was a nice change. The vehicle to the left is a Fiat 600 Jolly. It has wicker seats and the car was designed for the ultra rich to use on their yachts according to wikipedia. For example, Aristotle Onassis owned one.

Originally the design was only 3 wheels but it tended to tip so they made it with 2 wheels in the back spaced close together. Below is a 1960 Fiat 600 Multipla. This vehicle was widely used as a taxi in Italy. The engine was 633 cc and could accelerate from 0 to 50 in 43 seconds<grin>.
