Microcars are as less than 11 feet long

and/or having a 1000cc or less engine displacement.

The microcars could have 3 or 4 wheels.

Microcars dates back to the 1950's and 1960's.

The cars were mainly built out of need for smaller cars

following WWII in Europe.

Europe did not have enough

money or materials

to build bigger cars

so they built the microcars.

Clubs and associations exist for microcars worldwide.

There is even a museum for the microcars

in

Madison, Georgia
