  • Some of the coolest and craziest cars ever produced will hit the auction block this Friday and Saturday.
  • Bruce Weiner owns the largest microcar collection in the world. A microcar is a car that originated after World War II; most were made in European countries and the vehicles provided a better means of transportation for workers. In the early 1960s, Japan produced better and more luxurious vehicles, which led to the end of microcar production.
  • Weiner started collecting microcars in 1991 when he stumbled across one at a car auction in Atlantic City. He's been collecting the tiny vehicles ever since.
  • In building the collection, Weiner scoured the world to secure the best, the rarest and the most unusual examples extant. Many of the microcars set to be auctioned have never been offered in an auction before.
  • But Weiner has now decided to part with most of his prized possessions.
  • The auction includes 200 cars and more than 300 collectibles, including period neon signage, exceptionally rare kiddie rides, hugely valuable microcar models, literature and period vending machines and candy dispensers, all from the 1950s — the heyday of the microcar.
  • The auction is expected to bring in several million dollars. Weiner estimates several of the vehicles will fetch more than $100,000 each.
