These are not show concepts, these cars were built and used. What they all have in common is their uniqueness and strangeness.

1. Chevrolet El Camino - The El Camino, Chevrolet's attempt at a crossover between a pickup truck and a coupe, went on sale in 1964. The '64 El Camino had a powerful 300-horsepower V8, but peaked in power in 1970, when the 450-horsepower 454 V8 was introduced. The El Camino was discontinued in 1987. Photo: General Motor

2. Pea Car - The Pea Car was commissioned by Birds Eye, a frozen vegetable company, for a 2005 television commercial. The running pea was built on the chassis of an off-road go-kart. Designed by Asylum Company (London), it is powered by a Honda engine, can reach a top speed of about 60 mph, and is made of fiberglass body panels that can be detached during commercials. The Pea Car is currently on display at Unilever Ice cream and Frozen Foods Co., UK. Photo: Asylum Model & Effects

1999 Fiat Multipla - The Fiat Multipla is one of the strangest looking cars ever, topping many "ugliest cars ever" lists. The interior configuration is strange, with two rows of three seats each. The exterior is even stranger, with a muffin top and randomly placed headlights that make the car look like an insect. There are also two glove boxes for seemingly no reason. Photo: Stellantis

Oscar-Mayer - “The Hot Dog Cart” The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has been around for nearly 100 years! It was created by Carl Mayer in 1936 as an advertising stunt. There are currently six on the road at all times, and Americans can even visit the Oscar Mayer website to track down the nearest car and request a stop at their home. It has a 6.0-liter Chevrolet V8 engine. Inside are six luxurious mustard-and-ketchup-colored seats. Photo: Kraft Heinz

1921 Leyat Helica - Created by French biplane designer Marcel Leyat, the Leyat Helica was lightweight and aerodynamic. The Helica had an 18-horsepower 1,000cc Harley-Davidson v-twin engine and a lightweight plywood body, weighing 550 pounds. In 1927, one Helica reached a top speed of 106 mph. Only 30 were built, and it is reported that 23 were sold. Photo: Liam Walker

1973 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 - The 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 was over 21 feet long, making it the longest production car ever built that wasn't a limousine. The Fleetwood 75 was actually sold as a nine-passenger sedan. The Cadillac was powered by a 7.7-liter (472 cubic inch) V8 and took 11.9 seconds to reach 60 mph. It was said to have a smooth ride and a spacious and luxurious interior for its time. Photo: Cadillac

The Popemobile - If Batman has the Batmobile, the Pope has many Popemobiles. Yes, it is a specially designed vehicle that allows the Pope to appear in public safely. They have been produced by many car manufacturers in the past, including Mercedes-Benz. Modern versions of these cars have bulletproof glass, handrails that allow the Pope to stand while the car is moving, and steps to make it easier to get in and out. Photo: Alberto Pizzoli

Tesla Cybertruck - The Cybertruck boasts a super-strong stainless steel exoskeleton, soundproofed and armored glass. The electric truck has plenty of extra storage space in the front trunk and in various compartments around the vehicle. Photo: Telsa

1942 L'Oeuf Electrique- Not many of you have heard of L'Oeuf Electrique, which means the electric egg! The brainchild of designer Paul Arzens, only one was ever made. This domed aluminum wonder still exists and can be seen at the Cité de l'automobile in Mulhouse, France. Created during the gasoline shortages of World War II, this little car had three wheels and an electric motor. It had a top speed of 71km/h and could travel 101km on a single charge.

1961 Amphicar - A practical and useful all-purpose vehicle, the German-made Amphicar was introduced in 1961, and it was the only civilian amphibious passenger car ever mass-produced. Over 3,000 were imported to the United States. The utility roadster was powered by a Triumph Herald 4-cylinder engine. The front tires acted as rudders, guiding the vehicle through the water, and a pair of propellers provided speeds of up to seven knots (13 km/h). Photo: Gregory Dubus (More...)
