I was in TN last week, mostly in the Nashville area, to visit family. My FIL, son, and I went to the Lane Motor Museum there. Fun place to visit with nice, modest collection. Thought you guys would appreciate these, info from the placards below the pics:
Fiat 500 (they also had an original version, too) 1957 Messerscmitt KR200 "Fritz Fenx designed the car, and it was built at Messerschmitt's factory which was restrricted from building airplanes after WWII. This car appealed to motorcycleists who wanted more weatherproof transportation and to customers who found it half the price of a VW. The monoqocque tub forms the lower part of the body. The sheet metal upper body is topped with a canopy hinged at the side which opens to allow the driver and the passengers to enter." Audi anyone? 1958 DKW Munga "After WWII, the German government sponsored a competition between Borgward, Porsche, and DKW to find a suitable military replacement for the landrovers they had used before the War. DKW got he order, having the only factory with the capacity fulfill it. The Munga was born, althrought he name did not yet exist until 1962. The word Munga comes from the German phrase: Mehrzweck Univerval Gelandewagen Mit Allradantrieb, which translated means: Multi Purpose Universal Cross- Country Car with All Wheel Drive." 1929 BMW "Ihle 600"
