21 Weird Yet Oddly Impressive Cars That Somehow Exist
You never know when you could be driving down a lone highway, only to end up driving past a car so strange it looks like it should never have left the shop in the first place. Some folks make it their life’s work to collect the most bizarre cars that they can. These weird yet strangely impressive wheels could certainly stop folks in their tracks.
1. “Owner said it’s a 1955 prototype based on a Willys, and its only 1 of 5 made.”
“Could very well be a prototype for the mechanical mule. It was designed by Willys. Has a lot of the same characteristics as the mule too; rear engine, no suspension, cab forward design (if you can even call it that). It’s quite a bit bigger than a mule though.” – u/mechardneck
2. “Solid pickup truck.”
“Look at those fuel tanks.” – u/old_timey_brain
“Those fenders on the back aren’t really fending.” – u/margatron
3. “Police car from the Back to the Future 2 movie abandoned in California.”
“Prop cars are notoriously bad. Just like a real car is built to do real car things, prop cars are built to be props. They look good on screen, and with some editing, appear to drive well and sound good too.” – u/rasvial
“Looks like it will never fly again.” – u/evilteck
4. “A BBC television detector van.”
“I always wondered about that. I’d heard that they could detect if people had TVs but it didn’t make any sense. Bold of them to make these vans.” – u/marklein
“Well that’s just a microbus with extra steps.” – u/zeno0771
5. “Seriously, what on earth am I looking at?”
“Custom built car used for advertising, but since their logos aren’t on it anymore, its probably been sold since the video. Built on a VW Beetle chassis with a Cessna body.” – u/13rahma
“I don’t get it. It just looks like a plane car to me.” – u/speedyguy1
6. “Prototype of a new electric car about to hit the streets.”
“It looks like they took an existing car and added a second floor so they could stuff the entire ground floor full of batteries. It’s like 30cm taller than it should be, and it’s all in the waist.” – u/defiantdefiance
“Blind spots everywhere.” – u/ergosla
7. “Herkimer Battle Jittney restored.”
“I’ve said it before, it looks like someone made a vehicle based on the T-51 power armor helmet from Fallout.” – u/DarthBrooks69240
“I know this thing from Mystery Men. Glad to know it’s real and not just for the movie.” – u/lastguitarhero
8. “This is where Renault Dauphine keeps its spare tire.”
“Doubles as a parking sensor.” – u/patry1028
“Nom nom.” – u/stegasaurausrex
9. “Grocery store spot.”
“That bumper on the front looks like a do-it-yourself mine clearing device.” – u/nerdenstein
Seriously, just imagine pulling up next to this at your local grocery story. To say that you’d be just a tad bit surprised would be the understatement of the year.
10. “Mystified by this frame.”
“That’s way old school modding. Like someone from the 60’s hot rodding a car from the 40’s.” – u/mechanicalbull12
“Gas tank between the engine and the driver. Now that’s a firewall.” – u/burnttheorange
11. “No way this is street legal.”
“When you skip leg day the gym you end up looking like this.” – u/fish2042
“Looks like something out of Mario Kart.” – u/obwyn

“They call it a motorcycle but it is more like a truck without a cab.” – u/skdqio
