The BMW Isetta was mid engine, and '55–'62. The 600 (sometimes "Isetta 600"), which was rear-engine, was '57–'59.

It would be great in London, and why should you have to give up luxury to find a parking space?

There are a small number of places in the USA where it would make sense. In San Francisco (CA), the As'tin Cygnus or Toy'on Ick would be great (assuming it can handle the hills)...but most other places, completely pointless.

Beamer is valid, I think the article just got the wrong picture.

A good amount of stereo equipment. Two amps; I'm guessing at least four speakers, since I see one behind the seat, and I think I see one in the kick panel; relatively new looking CD head unit. Maybe the sunroof (unless LeMons counts it as a vent) and some other accessories could be sold off, too. I don't know whether…

Oh, this is hard. So many good responses already. So I'm going to say the Renault 4CV. Tiny, stylish, rear-engined, vaguely VW Beetle shaped, with four B-pillar-hinged doors.

Should have one of those painted on the car.

First thing I thought of when I saw it. That and sad clowns painted on black velvet.
