The distinctive 1957 BMW Isetta 300, a unique piece of automotive history, is manufactured in the same year that Ford introduced the Edsel and Elvis Presley debuted his first single on the Billboard charts. This early model by BMW, produced during its era as an established but smaller motorcycle manufacturer, showcases a distinctive design, featuring a single front door that swing outwards like a book page to reveal the vehicle's two-person interior, a concept still uncommon even today. Originally manufactured for the Italian market but later introduced to the United States in 1957, this microcar boasts a rear-mid mounted 298cc engine producing 10 Horsepower, enabling it to reach a top speed of approximately 60 km/h (37 mph), impressive figures given its lightweight yet sturdy construction.
