BMW Isetta — a rare, egg-shaped cruiser with rounded, bubble-like windows. a sensation when first issued, the entire front end of the Isetta is on a hinge — drivers and passengers hop inside via a single, swinging front door. The Isetta only has a top speed of 53 mph. But achieves an impressive 80 mpg. The most iconic feature of course… The “refrigerator door.” BMW’s Isetta was built on a license from an Italian automaker. Today, it’s the most popular microcar to collect. BMW produced over 160,000 Isettas from 1955 to 1962.
