Bubble car. Bubble car is a subjective term used for some small, economical microcars, usually produced in the 1950s and 1960s.[1][2] Varieties[edit] The Messerschmitt KR175 and KR200, and the FMR Tg500, had aircraft-style bubble canopies, giving rise to the term bubble car to refer to all these post-war microcars. Isettas and others also had a bubble-like appearance. Bubble cars became popular in Europe at that time as a demand for cheap personal motorised transport emerged and fuel prices were high due in part to the 1956 Suez Crisis. Most bubble cars were manufactered in Germany, including by the former German military aircraft manufacturers, Messerschmitt and Heinkel. The United Kingdom had licence-built right-hand drive versions of the Heinkel Kabine and the Isetta. The introduction of the Austin Mini in 1959 is often credited with bringing about the demise of the bubble car. Examples[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ "Babies on Wheels".
