Orphan Cars exhibit at Nat'l Auto Museum in Reno, NV
I hope it was the alleged reporter who screwed up so much and not Deluna. What's with the Isetta being a difficult to drive and needing a helmet to drive one? Is Deluna's a 3-wheel version? Even then,

I had a Simca 8 Sport for some time and as far as I know all left the works with the Fiat based Simca Huit engine. Since the Ford V8 60 was made post war in France, it was sometimes used as a retrofit
