BMW 600 Bubble car, a photo by Thumpr455 on Flickr.
A deluxe 4-seat 600 model. This is the later version of the Isetta with four wheels and a 582cc BMW twin-cylinder motorcycle engine.
These were made when BMW was struggling to survive in the late 1950's- early 1960's. The 600 bubble car was doomed by the success of the VW bug. Fortunately BMW survived this episode by building some actual normal cars.
