VELAM Isetta (1084 words) |
 | The VELAM Isetta was known by the French as the ‘yogurt pot’ because it resembled the small, roundish glass jars of yogurt sold in stores at the time and because the cars, often white, were the color of yogurt. |
| VELAM made five versions of the car: the Isetta (their standard version), the Décapotable cabriolet (the convertible version of the Isetta), the Ecrin (a sliding window luxury version of the Isetta), a one-off "Sport" version of the Isetta, and a race car reportedly called the Isetta Speciale (or the VELAM Course). |
| VELAM acquired a license from Iso in 1953 (at the Turin Auto show for France, Belgium, and Spain, according to Schmidt and Seeliger, 1993) or 1954 (according to Marshall, 1980) to manufacture a car based on the Isetta. |
