The "AutoEtte"

Such a cute name as well. So was it ever built? Is this an Isetta 300 in disguise? Hmm so many questions...

Mitch Casto who is the library director at the West Virginia University Institute of Technology ( US ) was researching other types of vehicle namely "tilting trikes" and came upon a patent of another 'car' that is a close resemblance of the Isetta 300 except that it is from the 1930's with a "J.V. Martin" as inventor.

Examples of tilting trikes can be found at: http://www.maxmatic.com/ttw_index.htm
