In post-war Europe, demand for smaller and more fuel-efficient cars began to grow, and a new genre of automobile was created: the “microcar.” These seemingly miniscule cars would go on to captivate many Europeans, and they became popular sights on many a city street throughout Europe, darting in and out of traffic.
Messerschmitt, a company that was no longer permitted to produce airplanes after the war, became one of the foremost manufacturers of microcars. Designed by German engineer Fritz Fend, Messerschmitt's new and improved KR 200 was introduced in 1955. This new model benefitted from a 191-cubic centimeter, Fichtel & Sachs two-stroke, single-cylinder engine, an improved canopy and revised suspension. By 1964, Europe was beginning to return to prosperity and, thus, larger automobiles.
