...producing a loser on the other end of the scale: the onecylinder 13-h.p. Isetta. By 1959, the firm was so deep in the red that merger or absorption seemed inevitable. Rumors spread that several big firms, including Daimler-Benz and General Electric, were making bids. This so shocked proud Bavaria that a public campaign was begun to save the flagship of local industry...
