This is a RARE issue of "The Midget Motors Directory," a bi-monthly sales listing, trading post and parts locator for owners of gasoline motors, Midget racers, Midget cars, motor scooters, motorcycles, motor bicycles and small-engine power equipment!
Interesting story to the “Directory” . . . a vehicle for selling Midget Motors products as well as “form in one handbook, all of the bargains in small vehicles and equipment on which we can obtain information . . . we do not charge for listing any small motorized vehicle in the directory . . .
In addition to the company’s advertisements for their products, this contains Classifieds of people who are trying to sell their Indian Motorscooters . . . Briggs engines . . . Harley Davidsons ~ Johnson Outboard motors ~ Cushman scooters etc.
That 1952 Harley Davidson 125 with 10,000 miles will cost you $200! Or perhaps you prefer the 1947 Doodlebug motorscooter for $60 or the 1952 Whizzer motorbike for $150 . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This issue contains black & white images of:
The Dart Motorscooter – new 1954 design
Super-Cycle – World’s Finest Motorscooter
King Midget – World’s Lowest Priced Auto

“ . . . The Directory has not, so far proven profitable financially but we have made a great many friends who look forward to each issue . . .”
I show you a LOT of excerpts and pictures below!
CONDITION: ~ A very good copy – complete and tightly bound with no writing ~ the outside covers are also good – some edge tears and scuffing – this was sent through the mail originally . . .
Look at my feedback and bid with confidence! I combine shipping.Thanks for looking!

The new Birusa concept unveiled today shows Bertone returning to what they do best - a flamboyant showcar giving us a vision of how the high performance GT car (front engine, rear drive, two seats) could evolve stylistically in the near future. Based on a BMW Z8 aluminium chassis lengthened by 300mm, it's a refreshing piece of exuberance by the Italian company and a celebration of what they achieved in the 1960s and 70s. The wedge-shaped profile is characterised by a classic Bertone device - a dihedral-shaped side window with an undercut lower glass section, as featured on showcars such as the Boomerang and Carrabo.

Saab are saved (?) by Pang Da Auto
There can’t be many companies in China who haven’t had Victor Muller banging on their door armed with a chunk of Saab stock in exchange for a hat full of Chinese currency. A couple of weeks ago we had the news that Saab had signed a deal with Chinese car Maker Hawtai for €120 million in exchange for a big chunk of Saab stock and lots of ‘joint’ venture. But that fell apart last week even before Victor Muller could get to consummate the marriage.

As usual, the embargos are tumbling ahead of the 2009 Frankfurt motor show – with photos of the new VW 1L concept car and electric Audi R8 spreading like wildfire. Both were supposed to be surprises held for a soirée on the eve of the show. Volkswagen’s 1L concept car is Wolfsburg’s latest incarnation of its cigar-shaped two-seater.
