You will like this one - from about 50sec is very nice but the rest is wonderful as well.

I cant seem to get the actual link to the video so perhaps those with Facebook should be OK
(perhaps a RUMCars Facebook group is on the horizon :) )

Beautiful, love that micro car, can anyone make out its name?

It looks worryingly like Ballic.

Baltic perhaps?

I think it shows Berlin. Brandenberg gate near the start is a bit of a giveaway.

The film is hand-coloured archive footage mainly of old Berlin - I think the first colourized version was posted on this link, which is slightly longer and had different music, but like most things on youtube it could also have been copied from somewhere else. I haven't found a source for the original footage.

The miniature car is one of a series of small scale Cadillacs built by Frederick S. Bennett. More information and pictures half-way down this page.
