Wayland Town Crier 4/19/14: Tiny car with a big story. John Jacobson of Wayland has a 1959 Vespa 400. It’s a tiny car with a very big story about how a scooter company decided to try its luck with automobiles. It turned out to be a bad idea but some of these micro-cars are still around to this day. John Jacobson may have sold you one seeing as he was the importer/dealer back in 1959.
