The World's Smallest Street Legal Car

It's no surprise Ripley's is bringing the world's smallest car, the Peel 50, to its N.Y. Odditorium. At 52 inches long, it's perfect for parking in Manhattan.

The Peel 50, purchased by Ripley's Believe It Or Not! in early 2009, weighs only 130 lbs., and is the smallest car ever approved for street use. The Manx Peel Engineering Co. built about 50 of them in the early 1960s, and only a few of them remain to this day.
With two wheels in front, one in back, the Peel 50 hits a top speed approaching 40 miles an hour. Maybe that's a little slow, but how fast do you want to go in a car that probably weighs less than you do?

If any guys out there are wondering how good this car is for picking up chicks. Consider this: It only has room for the driver and a small bag.

(Note: I can't seem to get the photos to post, but it you wish to see it, Google "Peel 50" and take a look).
