Tommy Ivo built this car after some whiners complained that he must have been cheating with his show quality T. This car was even quicker. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, cry babies.
King Midget Model I The evolution of King Midget began in 1946 when Claud Dry and Dale Orcutt, who met while civil air patrol pilots during World War II, conceived King Midget as an inexpensive, affordable car that anyone could buy. They developed and sold King Midget as a single passenger kit car in which any single cylinder engine could be installed. The kit contained the frame, axles, springs, steering mechanism, dimensioned patterns for the sheet metal, which could be fabricated by a local metalsmith, and an assembly book. In the late 1940’s, and through 1951, the Model 1 became available from the factory as either a kit or as a fully assembled car with a 6 h.p. Wisconsin engine.

#8...Keep a little power to the wheels when braking on icy/slippery roads to prevent locking up the wheels. Works best on 4x4. If it's a stick you might kill the engine but so what? #10...Ice lug tire chains were available even in 1960...I still have a pair or 2.
