What kind of car is this?
 
I have absolutely no idea and I do not have much to go by. A very blurry screen shot of a video I took as we rolled by. My wife says it's "cute" and wants me to get her one and convert it into an EV.
Yikes. I should probably pursue such a crazy project now that I have the wife's blessing for such things for the very first time ever!

Could be a Trabant. (Former East Germany), but not quite sure.

It seems too short to be a Trabant. It however looks similar to the Daihatsu Mira from early 90s...

It looks older than early 90s. Like a 70s import of some sort.
I do love Trabants....

Well, some Japanese Kei cars from the 80s to early-90s actually look older :D

Nissan Pao, made by the Pyke Factory, based on Micra running gear, quite cool little cars, they are a retro styled thing from the early 90's

I KNEW THE ANSWER! But I failed to win the prize.

I'd seen a couple of those last winter when I was hanging around out there.

Do you want a cookie now or something? :D

My first guess was Trabant too, but I googled it and saw it wasn't.

Nissan makes some pretty unique cars, glad manufacturers out there are thinking vintage, but wish they would do it more often, modern cars all look like VCRs and flat screen TV's to me, my mum really wanted a PT Cruiser for a while...

For that matter bring back the Datsun Model 16!!
