Re: [T3] Another air cooled vehicle on the road (no type3)

Jim...I have sworn to NEVER discuss Isetta material again 
as long as I live.

If, however, I were to answer the question (hypothetically, of 
course), it would be something like this.  As I recall, the steering 
wheel was hinged or in some way it swiveled so that one could drive 
with the door open and still steer.  And yes, the door probably stood 
straight out in front..but the little vehicle couldn't go fast enough 
for that to matter.  And no, the front window didn't open.

That is from memory of an event that occurred 40 years ago, so I 
wouldn't put much credence in the accuracy of my description.  I just 
remember a fun weekend of running around D.C. with that silly door 
open somehow.   Sorry to be a little vague on details, but at my age 
memory is the second thing to go.

Dave could give you a better answer , except that he too has taken 
the oath NEVER to discuss Isettas again on this list.  And, would we 
lie to you?
