VELAM (Véhicule Léger à Moteur, or "light vehicle with motor") was a French automobile manufacturer that made VELAM microcars under the licence of the Isetta from the Italian Iso. Powered by a 236 cc engine, it was capable of speeds in excess of 50 mph (80 km/h). Around 5,000 cars were built between 1955 and 1959.
The Velam was featured in the 1957 film Funny Face and the 1962 French film Adieu Philippine.
