A "KING MIDGET"
These little guys used to be sold mail order, sort of, from adds in "Popular Mechanics" and a few other similar publications during the 1960's. They are most basically a 4 wheeled motor scooter, but they are licensed as a car. Top Speed??? Maybe 40 mph, downhill, with a tailwind!






Oooops! Bad Horizon....Shame on Me!


Taken at the Mustang/Cushman Scooter Meet at the 'Love Civic Center' in Paris,TX, thru Saturday, if anyone in the area is interested! Free! Everyone Welcome to come take a look!

That one is in great shape, or looks to be. There used to be a man here in town I would visit all the time that had a huge collection of cars and he had one of those. His was an off white with black topand seat. I remember it was belt driven and Had something like a big Briggs and Straton engine in the back? I never saw his car out of his warehouse and onlyheard it run once. Were was that show?
