"1950s" JJ Microcar
« on: August 17, 2011, 09:55:16 PM »
A point to whomever can provide the identity of this microcar, whatever it may be!  All I know is that it appeared at a microcar convention in Crystal Lake, IL in 2006.

according to the Registration sheet for that event, the car is a handbuilt one-off, registered for the show as a "1950's JJ".

It was most likely NOT built in "1950" as the person exhibiting the vehicle said that the owner built it "several years ago" prior to 2006 with an engine that the exhibitor supplied to them for that purpose.

Sometimes a gentle nudge or bump does the trick.

Soo...1950s [but not really] JJ?  I guess that's...solved(?)  Lol, I was hoping to leave this up and get a little more information but that maybe all there is to say about it.  A point to Microcars for being the first with the most info!
