Top 5 Weirdest Cars of All Time!!!

Car design is something that most people enjoy – especially car lovers. This interest in car design has never changed. And it is likely to continue. Over the years, some amazing cars have been designed. These cars not only afford luxury but also encompass new style and character. Performance and speed can also be boasted as part of car design. However, not all cars that are manufactured are always great to look at. The comfort quotient might continue to be there, but the vehicle has looked somewhat strange. Personalizing these vehicles with a private number plate would surely give them a boost, however strange they may look.

Here’s a quick look at some of the most bizarre cars ever manufactured.

Oeuf Electrique

A vehicle looking like an egg – this concept is not new anymore. But once it was. And when the 1942 Oeuf electrique was introduced, it took the world by storm. The car’s name itself means electric egg. It could be termed as a green one – because it used battery instead of gasoline to run, although that was pretty long ago. And electric cars weren’t as cool back then as today.

This car was designed by the French industrial designer Paul Arzens. He was a painter in earlier life and also designed railway locomotives. The car that Arzens designed had the appearance of a bubble and was made from hand-formed aluminium and cured Plexiglass.

1936 Stout Scarab

Imagine this: an aircraft designer who is quite deft at his work suddenly had to move towards designing automobiles.

What will happen?

The answer lies in the 1936 Stout Scarab.

The vehicles has a touch of the aircraft design as well. Designed by erstwhile aircraft designer William Bushnell Stout, this vehicle integrates both luxury and leisure. It is made in such a way that the vehicle is a perfect diner car. However, it is extremely expensive. So, this car never became quite popular. And less than 10 vehicles of this model were manufactured. However, its bizarre appearance still intrigues the automobile lovers.

General Motors Firebird

Speaking of the similarity between designs of aircraft and vehicles? You just can’t leave Firebirds out.

Primarily prototype cars, these vehicles were designed by Harley Earl and were engineered by General Motors. The vehicles were introduced in the 1953, 1956 and 1959 Motorama auto shows. Four versions of Firebirds were introduced. But it’s the Firebird I, which was more close to an aircraft. It was a jet airplane put on wheels and offers immense comfort to the riders.

These cars were never meant for production, but to showcase design and technology. However, the design of this car is still one of the most popular ones among the car lovers.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model

What if a car’s exterior shifts according to the vehicle’s aerodynamic requirements at different times?

Seems impossible, isn’t it?

But that’s what the 2001 BMW GINA Light Visionary Model offers. It was conceptualized by BMW’s Design Director Chris Bangle. According to him, this car allowed him as well as his team to “challenge existing principles and conventional processes”. The exterior of the car is made from polyurethane-coated spandex.

This car has been regarded as one of the best offered by BMW till date and it is expected to remain high on demand of the car lovers in the years to come as well.

1951 GM Le Sabre

Cars don’t have fins, do they?

Yes, of course, some of the cars don it. And the first car to have fins was the 1951 GM Le Sabre. Besides, it also had a wraparound windshield. Soon, these design elements would gain ground in the American automobile industry. So, in a way, GM Le Sabre was a pioneer in terms of designing the automobile.

There are more to this car.

It can with a moisture detector. So, if there is any chance of rainfall, the convertible car’s top would automatically get raised, thus shielding the riders.

The car lovers are always on the lookout for vehicles that don new designs and showcase technologies, which had not been used till date. And if they can get any of these vehicles, they can give them a better look by using personalised number plates on them as well.
