Gooding & Co has this 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina listed at their Scottsdale Auction for the weekend of January 21 and 22. No indication of what day it will go up but they estimate it at $70-$90K. Perhaps they are extremely optimistic or have it confused with a different vehicle? Time will tell.

UPDATE: Apparently Sold for a Hammer Price of $75,000

A few years ago, French photographer Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed. To cheer her up, he suggested that they shoot a series of outrageous photographs in unusual costumes, poses, and locations. Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn’t stop smiling.

He set up a MySpace page for her but this other Blog Entry does a pretty good job of distilling it down and has all the Isetta pics at the top so for more pics Click Here.

See if you can spot the Zündapp Janus in the trailer for the new CARS movie from PIXAR.
Unlike the previous film this is not a “blend” of several microcars, it seems to be a rather accurate depiction of the vehicle (except for the addition of the monocle….).  Oh and the Janus also appears to be a “bad guy”. Whoo Hoo!  Hope they find a use for the rear door. Perhaps he is “two-faced”?
Hat Tip to Larry Claypool for the heads up.

Who do you think the winner was in this drag race between the 1956 BMW Isetta and this 1964 CHEETAH?
(don’t you know that Cheetahs always win?)

This was in Las Vegas during SEMA at the Clean Tools booth, makers of the ABSORBER and GLOSSER products.
