Some American auto journalists, not knowing what to make of the Smart, which will soon go on sale in the US, have begun labelling it a "microcar." If so, the Smart is in good company. Dozens of mini marques appeared in Europe following WW11 and were the seeds from which the present Japanese auto industry was built. The history of the microcar is fascinating and no one has been more devoted to the mini models than Bruce Weiner, who has built a phenomonal museum in Dubble Bubble Acres, located 50 miles east of Atlanta. The Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum contains hundreds of microcars whose variety of styles and technology belies description. It also has a Web site that makes it utterly simple to view all the cars in the collection, complete with a description of each. It's as if the site wants you to have fun, for the museum certainly does. Bruce Weiner is not alone in his enthusiasm for microcars; 2007 will feature Cushmans and the First Annual National Meet of the Vintage Microcar Club. Yes, there is one, and bless those who believe that small is beautiful. That's an Isetta pickup from the museum collection.
