My example was going to be the Dymaxion and it was second one in the list!!!

First read about the Dymaxion in AQ 50 years ago as a kid. Definitely qualifies for this list.

· Aug 12

I think it i still exists.

My main man @ravi enters the feed!

My choice would be the Amphicar because it is so ugly and @TomLaferriere can't stop talking about buying one. I personally hate them.

I didn't not see the Tucker on there which also should qualify.

You don't like Amphicars?

· Aug 12

No. I do not like amphicars. Take a crappy car, mate with a crappy boat and you get an Amphicar.

· Aug 12

Btw, the amphicar is supposedly based on this. Much cooler.

That I like!

Perhaps the 1960 Daimler Dart with a Retractable hard top.

WTF is that. I just learned something. Ouch.

I'd like to submit: 1979 Corvette America. Six were built for GM by a California coachbuilder as a market test for a 4 door Corvette. The idea was apparently serious enough to build six of them. Only about two are believed to survive today.

Ouch.

Not really a production car but the Sir Vival safety car concept was certainly weird.

May in fact be weirdest of the weird. It is in a musuem somewhere.

It’s in the Lane Motor Museum. They had it on display at Lime Rock several years back.
