Isetta 300 police car, Ferrari race car, and 26 cents a gallon

What makes this more useful than a motorbike? Neither have a secure place to put anyone that gets arrested
Visually stunning, nothing in the photo of the front of the race car, and that makes me wonder about the collision that could tear the front of the car off, but leave the guys legs intact. This also speaks highly of the technological developement of race car fabrication
At the bottom it shows that a gallon cost 26 cents when this pump was retired
