Even Foreign Cars Came To The Antique Auto Shop Open House

This 1957 BMW Isetta was one of a number of foreign cars that rolled in for The Antique Auto Shop Open House and Cruise-In. There were around 70 total cars on the lawn and some unique rides for sure. The Isetta microcar was originally created by the Italian firm of Iso. It was built to be a small runabout city car and actually used a motorcycle engine. If you look closely you can see that the only door is at the front of the car and is the only way to get in and out of this two seater. A number of other companies licensed the rights to the car but it was BMW that did the most with it, including adding a larger engine.

Also on display at the event was a 2005 BMW M3, a 1988 325i, a new Alfa Romeo, a 1970 Triumph TR-6, a concours quality 1994 Porsche 968, a new Porsche and a classic 911S.
