Vintage Isettas
- DALLAS, TX, June 19, 2007 - Nicknamed the rolling eggs for their small size and rounded shape, vintage
BMW Isettas are now available to
DFW Elite Car Club.com members. Members who love
microcars,
classics, and
BMWs may wish to step back in time and drive something certain to produce smiles and new friends.
The club garage is now home to a rare white
1959 Isetta convertible and a classic
red 1959 Isetta. "I can't help smiling when I drive an Isetta," says
DFW Elite Car Club owner
Ron Sturgeon. "They're absolutely a blast, and people will definitely notice and stop you to ask about an Isetta."
"If you're looking for attention, renting an Isetta will definitely get you some," says Metroplex resident and recent
Isetta driver Christina A. "The car is immaculate and we had a great time cruising the neighborhood on Saturday morning."
"Sitcom watchers during the 1990s might be more familiar with the Isetta as the tiny car driven by uber geek
Steve Urkel on
Family Matters," says Club Director Kevin Bailey. "But these bubble cars have definitely become cool for collectors."
"Of the 8500 Isettas BMW imported into the U.S, only about 1000 are left," reports
Fort Worth entrepreneur and car club founder
Ron Sturgeon. "We were very fortunate to find two in such pristine condition." Top condition
BMW Isettas sell for about $15,000 and an
Isetta convertible like one in the car club garage would easily auction for $25,000 because they are so rare.
Vintage microcar enthusiasts may already know the story of the BMW Isetta. In the lean years following WWII, few Germans could afford the sedans BMW was making. BMW executive choose to license and redesign a tiny Italian microcar. That redesigned car, the
BMW Isetta, became a huge success and outsold the more costly
BMWs of its day ten to one.
Those reserving an Isetta for the first time should plan to come 30 minutes early so that a
DFW Elite Car Club.com representative can share some tips and tricks for mastering the controls.
"Even our most hard boiled members won't be able to resist cracking a smile behind the wheel of these delicious rolling eggs," says Car Club Director Kevin Bailey.
