Addendum: Please note this is a 1961 and not a 1960 as printed in the catalog. Title in transit

Referred to as “well-engineered miniature” by the respected Motor Trend magazine, this car was built for touring. Made from 1958-1961, with only 1,138 examples of the 1960 model year sold in the U.S. makes this car a very unique piece of automotive history. This car is equipped with a 400-cc, two-cycle engine producing 14-hp with a three-speed synchromesh transmission. This uncommon car has a recently finished frame-off restoration, with very acute attention to original detail. The exterior is fitted with chrome bumpers, equipped with a sunroof, suicide-style doors with sliding windows and painted in red, with matching red painted wheels and center caps. The interior sports a radio, plus bucket seats and a small rear seat in gray cloth.
