Small but Mighty

Local attorney Matthew Spielberg was spotted by Your Boulevardier on Saturday morning in the Chevron Station -- at the intersection of Castro Valley Boulevard and Redwood Road -- gassing up his 1967 Toyota Sports 800.

Prior to today, Your Boulevardier had only seen pictures of the car in the newspaper. In real life, it is as little and cute and stylish as can be. Mr. Spielberg -- who looks much less like the late public television painter Bob Ross than the photo in the Chronicle suggested -- generously answered questions as a number of admirers milled about the tiny two-seat, two-cylinder car. Then he drove off in the direction of his Redwood Road office.
