Subaru 360!

Has anybody here ever seen a Subaru 360?
I have - lots of them, and I own 2.
For those of you who don't know - the Subaru 360 was Subaru's FIRST mass produced car!
It has a 2-stroke engine that burns a mixture of gas and oil at a 100/1 ratio. That engine is a 356cc air cooled inline twin - mounted transversely at the rear. 25hp @ 5500 rpm.
It is smaller than the old (real) mini - and cooler too.
It gets about 55mpg, though ads claimed "up to 66mpg" and nobody believes that it's a Subaru when they see it!
Suicide doors standard.
1969 Subaru 360 sedan, 1970 Subaru 360 Young S.

Thanks.
