RARE KING MIDGET! VINTAGE 1960 MICRO CAR! DAILY DRIVER! 10HP! 50MPH! 50MPG!

It's very rare to see a one of what's commonly referred to as a clown car or specifically a micro car anywhere other than a car show or in a parade these days. So after a long day at the dragstrip watching fullsize cars from the 60's to modern day cars race down the track I did a double take seeing this tiny car pulling into the gas pump along side of me. The King Midget's claim to fame was its 50 MPH, 50 MPG, and 500 lbs all for just $500. The King Midget was manufactured in Athens, Ohio from 1947 until 1970. Total production is estimated at 5,000. The Model III was introduced in 1957 and was originally powered by a 9.2 horsepower engine, driven by a single wheel and 4-wheel hydraulic brakes. Advertised as the "World's Most Exciting Small Car" and the 'World's Number One Fun Car' the King Midget was one of the only small cars that was continuously manufactured for almost 25 years from 1946 until operations ended in 1970. For many years Midget Motors Corporation was the 6th largest automobile manufacturer in the U.S. At the time when large manufacturers were introducing automatic transmissions to the public, the King Midget featuring its very own uniquely designed automatic transmission, making it very special. Featuring incomparable fuel economy, light years ahead of its competitors, Midget Motors use of aircraft lightening techniques and unit body construction resulted in a super strong, yet light vehicle. According to the owner he drives this unrestored original daily and was stopping in for a couple gallons of gas which last him around 100 miles. Now if I could only pursuade him to take it to the dragstrip! #microcar #kingmidget #midgetmotors
