bubble car

Tiny domed vehicle

A bubble car is a small, compact automobile produced mainly in Europe during the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by a rounded, egg-shaped body and often a single door at the front.

These economical microcars emerged as affordable transportation after World War II: The Isetta was the most iconic bubble car of its era.

The name comes from their distinctive domed appearance.
