John Hollowell of Ann Arbor Michigan with his Goggomobil TS400
Nice profile piece from AnnArbor.com about Microcar collector and enthusiast John Hollowell.
Even nicer is that they spelled GOGGOMOBIL correctly!

Link to John’s website: ISETTAGARAGE.COM(where Goggomobil is NOT spelled correctly! *sigh*…)
This 8 minute video is a rambling tour (narrated in German) of the Jesada Technik Museum in Thailand.
Previously covered as the Microcar Museum in Thailand, this video shows a bit more coverage of vast numbers of Microcars stored away in all sorts of places in all sorts of conditions from buckets of rust to restored, or at least presentable examples. Tip of the hat to Mark Hatten for the head’s up.
This collection of approximately 20 microcars will be auctioned on September 11 2010 in Bechtelsville, PA (preview on Friday September 10)
Mostly Crosleys and King Midgets, there is also an Amphicar there. The auction catalog is not available yet, check the auctioneer website HERE for updates and more specific information.
From the Orange County Register, this really nicely done profile piece about Dave Raab,
Microcar Enthusiast and Collector from Tustin California. There is an ad at the beginning of the video, but the video is worth it.
There is a print story that accompanies this, read that HERE.
Make sure you read down to the first comment, it is hilarious!
This video pretty much sums it up. What other car could you make a video like this with?
What is a bit astonishing is that this was made by the BMW Museum in Munich.
Listen to the lyrics and in particular to ” …without you I would never rise again”
Does this mean BMW is finally acknowledging the Isetta’s place in their history as “the car that saved BMW”?
Maybe it is just coincidence but this commercial is all stop-motion animation with KinToy Isettas zipping about, having fun and mixing it up with all the other BMW marques as well as modern day traffic. To think they just randomly selected a song to run in the background is difficult to believe.
For many years there has been quiet talk and rumors of a Microcar Collector in Thailand. It seems the rumors were true!
Jesada Dejkulrit is the collector who has a large Private Collection of all sorts of vehicles under the name “Jesada Technik Museum”. He appears to have a special interest in Microcars and Bubblecars of all sorts.
His first Microcar was a Messerschmitt, purchased in 1997 at an auction, since then the collection has grown quite a bit. Rumor has it that a number of the cars sold at the recent BubbleCar Museum Auction in the UK will be going to this collection in Thailand.
