1959 FKF S7 at Klairmont Kollections in Chicago.

This little three-wheeled microcar was built in Sweden under license from the German manufacturer Fuldamobil.  It features a single-cylinder 2-stroke engine mounted to the rear of a steel frame which is clothed in a 10 ft, 4 in (3.1 meters) long fiberglass body.  The whole thing weighs less than 700 pounds (318 kg).  Only 422 Swedish built S7’s were created and there probably are very few that still exist.
