About the Messerschmitt…  “One of the most well-known manufacturers of microcars is Messerschmitt. They are easily recognizable because of their dome-shaped Plexiglas roofs and are frequently referred to as “bubble cars,” as a result. They were designed by German engineer Fritz Fend, who experimented with creating alternative forms of transportation, and he found economic support from his old employer, Willy Messerschmitt. Since Messerschmitt’s company was no longer permitted to produce airplanes after the war, he started looking for a new product to produce, and Fend and Messerschmitt settled on the concept of a vehicle with three wheels and tandem seating. The first Messerschmitt vehicle was the KR 175, and it premiered at the Geneva Motor Show in 1953. Nearly 11,000 examples would be produced before Messerschmitt production transitioned to the new and improved KR 200 in 1955.”
