    Post about some weird shit. Cars for posting should not be well known anywhere. I'll go first:

    The 1968 Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan was designed and built by Wisconsin-based eccentric weird boy Bruce Mohs. It was designed the car to beat the Rolls Royce in luxury, to be the new Bugatti 41! Of course, Mohs did not seem to notice that if a car is too luxurious, it will not sell. (See Bugatti 41) There are only or two of these amazing... things in existence. One was restored by a college, seen below.



    Have fun, share stories of oddities.

    That's not an Amphicar, rather it's a Citicar. This, is an Amphicar.

    The Dale and the Citroen Centipede are always strange car favorites for me. Both of them are fairly well known so no story in this post.

    1967 Exemplar 1 Concept car. Comissioned by a Brass and Copper company to showcase the value Brass and Copper could bring to the automotive world. Built in Italy on a Buick Riviera Chassis.

    The SVX was just another asset bubble-fueled 90s Japanese coupe.

    But more weird. A normal 1990's Japanese coupe to me is the 3rd and 4th gen Supra, and the 240SX.

    This is hardly that much weirder.

    Isetta 600.
    I thought that the 300 was weird enough, but this looks like an micro-limo, but there's only one side with 2 doors, and it's still powered by the same motorcycle engine the 300 had.
    Then again, most micro-cars have strange-looking designs.

    Fornasari Tender. Apparently it's inspired by a luxury yacht.


    Plymouth Prowler.


    Ford Indigo.


    Pontiac Stinger.


    Citroen Karin.


    Volkswagen Machimoto. I think this one would've been great at transporting tourists.


    Probably the weirdest Cadillac I've ever seen.


    Ford Nucleon. Thank goodness this thing never got made, it would be a disaster waiting to happen.


    Cadillac World Thorium Fuel. WTF is this thing?

    Any Aston-Martin shooting brake looks really nice. I don't know why there aren't more.

    It's real....
    I'm seriously surprised and astonished at the same time.

    That's how they envisioned the pickup of the future.

    Fortunately, when the future came, it looked like this:

    Obligatory "Fiat Multipla":

    But honestly, the Isuzu Vehicross.

    A concept car that somehow made it into production.

    The 1956 Chrysler Plainsman is one of the only known jet age concepts to be a wagon. It was built by Ghia, then shipped to Cuba. It was later smuggled out of Cuba to Australia, where it was turned into a right hand drive, and used regularly. Then it went to America, and got turned back into a left-hand drive. Now it's worth about $175,000.

    As an Jaguar concept, it's the most weirdly proportioned design I ever seen. Bubbly headlights, moderately oversized vents, and an McLaren F1-like body style.
