Bizarre looking cars of all time, ever made. (Part 1)

If you too are a 90's kid, then surely you had come across weird looking cars in movies, especially in Hollywood action movies where cars played a major role. These weird looking cars preserved their charm till date, and still, they make human minds intoxicated with their design language, making them amongst the valuable things ever made. Coming up is the list of such weird looking and exhilarating cars, that are popular for their bizarreness.

Peel P50

Peel P50 was in production between 1962 and 1965, a production of Peel Engineering Company, having featured in the World's smallest car ever made by 2010 Guinness World Record Book. In a modern day car, we are provided with a reverse gear, but what brings charm to this micro-car is, this car doesn't have a reverse gear. Instead a handle is provided at rear, to have a manual control on this light weighted vehicle in tricky situations. This car was light enough, that one can grab its handle and take it away with him, assuming it to be a bigger-in-size trolley bag. If you haven't watched the day to day life adventures of the vehicle, I do suggest to watch Jeremy Clarkson's review on Peel P50, that would surely make your day. Peel P50 was, and still a road legal micro-car in UK, and US, being in the three-wheeler category weighing less than 900 lbs. or 410 Kgs, having an engine capacity of 50cc, with engine making space on its side, driving rear wheels. Being a vehicle under 50cc category and with a top speed of 45Km/hr., it is categorised under EU's Quadricycle, in Netherlands.

TASCO

A unique creation of an American automobile designer, Gordon Buehrig, the prototype could not make it to a production car, because by far it was most expensive to bring the car into production, being $7500 for that time, which costs nearly $80000 of today, taking inflation into consideration, thus rendering it a single running prototype. Its design language was inspired by airplanes, having tonnes of elements in dash board and controls of the vehicle, which would remind of an airplane cockpit, every time one sits in it.

The Tasco was not pleasant looking, in its aesthetics, which was well acknowledged by Gordon and he named it "My Edsel" meaning "Noble".

Here's a look into the interiors of this classic machine.

Firebird

Firebirds were concept cars, built by General Motors, having designed primarily to be showcased in 1953, 1956, 1959 Motorama shows, just as a show cars. They resembled

 "Fighter planes on roads"

 The key feature of the siblings being, they were getting weirder than every last one built. Here's a look at the Firebirds siblings.

Stout Scarab

Stout Scarab was designed by an American designer William Bushnell Stout in the year 1932, which was marked as the World's first minivan. The first prototype became the world's first vehicle featuring a fiberglass construction and air suspensions. The production models were built out of aluminum frame chassis. The use of lighter materials for construction limited the weight of the minivan to approximately 1400 Kgs. The vision behind designing the Scarab was creating an office on wheels, with having larger wheelbase aiding in maximum utilisation of the space within. The minivan could not make it to production in large numbers, with having only dozen units manufactured, out of which only five are reported to be surviving till date.

Scarab featured a removable table top and a second row seat that can rotate 180 degrees, to face the rear passengers.

This one is for you to guess.

This 22 feet long and 9 feet wide, extravagant vehicle was featured in "The league of Extraordinary Gentlemen". What powers this humungous vehicle is the Land Rover V8 under the hood, which was originally designed by General Motors, and later redesigned, and rebranded as Rover V8. This limo has a special place in the hearts of Indian enthusiasts. Indian aura can be perceived by having a look at the design language it flaunts majestically, having Lord Ganesha on either sides, taking charge of everything at the front.
