You may remember the King Midget. It was advertised in magazines like Mechanix Illustrated and Popular Mechanics. You ordered it by mail and it came in a crate, partly assembled. Most people had them running in a matter of a couple of hours. Power was from a single-cylinder air-cooled engine of about 12 horsepower. It was located in the back. King Midgets were in production for many years and they must have sold thousands of them. They often show up at scooter meets and car shows. This one was at a Cushman meet in Indiana.
