  • Toyota “Solarup”

    Toyota “Solarup”

    This is just the type of vehicle to wake Oddimotive up from a slumber that’s been a bit too long. Here we have a Solara Convertible – the more reliable alternative to a Chrysler Sebring Convertible – which has had part of a Ford Explorer Sport Trac grafted onto its rear. We went with Solarup…

  • Bittersweet Opel

    Bittersweet Opel

    1985 Bitter is the incarnation of one man’s seemingly very reasonable dream: Supercar styling with reliable and common underpinnings. Erich Bitter, a former race driver, was the man with the vision and what we have here is an exotic body and luxury interior wrapped around an Opel Senator executive sedan. The Senator was the largest…

  • Microcar 3-Fer!

    Microcar 3-Fer!

    We’re big fans of multi-car deals and, needless to say, we like them even more when oddities are involved. In this case, we have a 3-fer where all three qualify as microcars, but we’re really here for the ACOMA Super Comtesse. The ACOMA is not just obscure, it’s Lane Motor Museum obscure! What’s not to…

    Mad Gramps: Mad Max-Themed 2002 Buick

    Did the world need the unholy combination of 2002 Buick Regal and Mad Max mods with a motorcycle thrown on top like a cherry? I guess the seller will find out, but we strongly support this as a pickup conversion! It’s not clear to us whether this is based on the supercharged Regal GS, or…

    Outgrew your Playmobil toys? How about a Fuldmobil from Elektromaschinenbau Fulda?

    Behold the car that might or might not have created the bubble car concept! This is, as you might guess, a 1950s German contraption, launched in the hard times after WWII.

  • Minup: Ex-Red Bull Mini Pickup

    Minup: Ex-Red Bull Mini Pickup

    Let’s get this out there: The Suzuki X90 represents the Holy Grail of ex-Red Bull vehicles. With that out of the way, this Mini is a close second and, well, it’s the only other choice.

  • (Help Me) Ronda? Yes, it’s a Rover Honda.

    (Help Me) Ronda? Yes, it’s a Rover Honda.

    Today’s feature is a Rover 216SE, falsely advertised as a 316. Why is this a Ronda? It’s because this is essentially a rebadged Honda Ballade, which, in turn, was a slightly fancier Honda Civic. If a Sterling is too common for you, this Rover 216 should do the trick.

  • The Train Truck

    The Train Truck

    Beneath this moderately convincing steam train is a Chevy 1-ton truck chassis powered by a good ‘ol 350. As one can imagine, this was used for parades in the past. What will you do with it?
