Thank you Don for sharing this Isetta, at a rest stop on I-5 in Southern Oregon in Spring 2021. A grandfather in Michigan left it to a grand daughter in Oregon, and she was taking it home to restore it. Tags are 1964
I heard that they get the rubber bands from the Stig... and he makes them by grabbing a strip of rubber from the top of rubber trees near cliffs, and when he bounces back to the tree limbs, he tires a knot in the strip of rubber, to make a very long band, then grabs the end of a new strip, and repeats the jump, for fun. He keeps track of his leaps with the rubber bands he makes, and then sold those rubber bands to BMW for beer money.
I wonder how big a rubber band that takes?

DeleteGood answer! It's nice to see that the granddaughter is keeping the car in the family and restoring it.
