What is a Microcar? According to RAC,

A microcar is the smallest car you can buy today, that normally comes with either three or four wheels, and a very small engine.

 

They have also been referred to as bubble cars, invacars, and quadricycles.

 

The vehicles you'll see in The Midwest Microcar Museum aren't like anything you've seen before. They look like a vehicle out of an old movie or something. Nothing like an automobile that you would buy at a dealership and drive around town, unless you're a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.

The Microcars were created in Europe after World War II. The citizens needed a reliable but affordable vehicle to get around. You can still find them all over that part of the world. I guess if you didn't have to transport anything, they wouldn't be bad to drive.

The Microcar Museum is located just outside of Madison and is free to enter. They helped many local charities raise money over the years. The collection is constantly changing. They also own a cycle museum down the street.
