Awesome, thanks.

I can't believe a car built in 50's could be so tiny.

ya they built them in the 50's-early 60's one of the first American economy cars! I think they had a Austin engine a 1200cc or 1500cc later on and got great MPG and weighed less than like 1800lbs :nut:

Well I didn't know what it was. Would it better if the subject was "spotted : I don't know."?

There is one more I know of, sits in a hanger out in springbank airport, along with a hudson hornet, 2 thunderbirds and a couple I forget.

LOL, maybe something like "what kind of car is this?" or "can anyone identify this 1950s econobox"

(just giving you a hard time :rofl: )
