(MORE pics further below!)




Hard-to-find original publication!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Original vintage Softcover published in 1955 with 23 pgs . . . a Factory published catalog.


Midget Motors was located in Athens, Ohio


This is a RARE issue of "The Midget Motors Directory," a bi-monthly sales listing, trading post and parts locator for owners of gasoline motors, Midget racers, Midget cars, motor scooters, motorcycles, motor bicycles and small-engine power equipment!


Interesting story to the “Directory” . . . a vehicle for selling Midget Motors products as well as “form in one handbook, all of the bargains in small vehicles and equipment on which we can obtain information . . . we do not charge for listing any small motorized vehicle in the directory . . .


In addition to the company’s advertisements for their products, this contains Classifieds of people who are trying to sell their Indian Motorscooters . . . Briggs engines . . . Harley Davidsons ~ Johnson Outboard motors ~ Cushman scooters etc.


That 1952 Harley Davidson 125 with 10,000 miles will cost you $200! Or perhaps you prefer the 1947 Doodlebug motorscooter for $60 or the 1952 Whizzer motorbike for $150 . . .


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This issue contains black & white images of:

The Dart Motorscooter – new 1954 design

Super-Cycle – World’s Finest Motorscooter

King Midget – World’s Lowest Priced Auto

King Midget Junior

Professional Midget Racer – Home-Built from Model A Ford

Mile-A-Way Midget Racer


“ . . . The Directory has not, so far proven profitable financially but we have made a great many friends who look forward to each issue . . .”


I show you a LOT of excerpts and pictures below!


CONDITION: ~ A very good copy – complete and tightly bound with no writing ~ the outside covers are also good – some edge tears and scuffing – this was sent through the mail originally . . .

VW Golf GTI Excessive (2010): the maximum GTI

Sun, 16 May 2010

By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 16 May 2010 07:07 The Volkswagen Group has fallen in love with the Austrian hot hatchfest that is Wörthersee. Barely a year goes by when an outrageous Audi or VW isn't being wheeled out to Europe's GTi fans – and 2010 is no different. The new VW Golf GTI Excessive is not as extreme as its name suggests, but rather it's a gently tweaked-up version of one of the most rounded hot hatches on sale today.
