Three New Lightweight Automobiles for Europeans
More evidence that Europeans will continue to drive small, economical cars is evidenced by three new models. Czechs in Prague are holding a contest to find an inexpensive car that is cheap to operate. At a recent automobile show in Paris, two new four-passenger French models that attracted attention are the Dynavia, a streamlined sports car affording excellent visibility, and the 1949 Citroen. The two-door Dynavia has three shifts and overdrive, the engine is air-cooled and the car is said to have a top speed of 90 m.p.h. “with some effort.,’ At normal speeds it travels 42 miles on a gallon of gasoline. The four-door Citroen has front-wheel drive. One lightweight Czech car has a two-cylinder engine in the rear and attains a speed of 50 m.p.h. It is said to run 63 miles on one gallon of gasoline.
I need a list of the lightest cars i.e. The Vauxhaul opeL superboss of 850KG etc. Is there such a list and where can we find it.
