This is a 1955 Messerschmitt KR200 built by the famed World War II German aircraft designer, Willy Messerschmitt... and YES! Elvis owned one of these vehicles! Everything in this car is original to the period. The engine, transmission, clutch, suspension, interior, etc. are all original and offer the authentic engine sound and feel of the road as when it was first produced. There are too many unique qualities of this car to list but I'll give you a few: -It goes 55-60mph and is highway legal. -It has four gears that operate completely differently than normal vehicles. -It has a 2 cycle engine. -It seats three people (although, depending on size, it can get a little crammed inside). -It was originally intended as a car for wounded German soldiers of limited mobility after the war but the design proved popular that it was marketed for for general use. If you rent this car, BE PREPARED FOR CROWDS & QUESTIONS every time you park somewhere. It pays to read up a little on the history of the vehicle so that you are prepared to answer questions each time you exit the vehicle. I've had ambulances, police, etc. stop me to ask about the car and have received over 1,000 requests for selfies with the car. BE PREPARED for the attention you will be receiving! It can get a little overwhelming.
