Default 10 Unusaul Cars



This is an article from the Adelaide Advertiser August 24, 2005. It mentioned some of the weird stuff that has been manufactured over the years and why (as if any one could ever explain why), the Birdwood National Motor Museum are having an exhibiton for a year "Weird Wheels".

Prepare to WTF some more
A passage from whenever this monstrosity was made...This fantastic car, decribed as the world's safest vehicle, was designed by an American priest. Called the Aurora, his car has an air-scoop in place of the more usual radiator grill, and the huge bumpers are made of hard, shock-reisisting rubber. The inside of the cab is heavily padded and the steering wheel is telescopic"

If you are Derb from OCAU I know where you have seen it, but that is dragging this off topic.
