yep.....2 cylinder, 36 horsepower!!!!
according to the article, it will DO 60 mph, but it seems to run better at 50.

I think my lawnmower has a bigger engine. Weird little car from an era of weird little cars. This one is at least good looking.

Reminds me of one of my all-time favorites, a 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
