Rebirth of Messerschmitt?

I know this is about a car, but still thought you all might find it funny. The magazine Autoweek ran a little blurb about the new Chrysler concept car, the ME Four - Twelve. What makes it funny ( at least to me ) is that in post war Germany, whatever was left of Messerschmitt was absorbed by Daimler Benz! And the designation, “ME”

Oh well, maybe it’s not that funny after all!

Yeah, it’ll look real funny in your rear view mirror with a pair of MG-131’s lighting up, oh wait … those are headlights, never mind.

doc,

I immediately thought the same thing. I said to myself, at least they didn’t designate it Me-410!

Back in the late 50s, early 60s, Messerschmidt produced a 3 wheeled, two passenger (tandem) car. Kid at school won one at the county fair. 4 guys could pick it up and walk off with it. It was found parked in a lot of strange places as that year went by.
