  • Interesting Interior Work Plus Brown Equals Win

    Interesting Interior Work Plus Brown Equals Win

    By most standards, this is just an old, brown F150.  A quick look at the interior shots, however, shows why it’s here on Oddimotive.  Some owner at some time ‘crafted’ an interesting center stack and some sort of custom electronics box.  Also, this truck has a lot of brown.  We like brown. This truck was…

  • Semi-Based, Big-Nose Pickup

    Semi-Based, Big-Nose Pickup

    Apparently, one can take a 1963 Autocar semi truck cab and hood and mate than to a bed on a one-ton Chevy frame.  We know this only because the result is today’s feature Oddimobile. What’s an Autocar, you ask?  Apparently, the automaker started in Pennsylvania in 1897 with cars and became a truck-only company as…

  • Another Custom Something-or-Other

    Another Custom Something-or-Other

    Let’s see, this has a rear trailing arm (with diff!) from a Honda Goldwing, transaxle from a VW Beetle and a three-cylinder diesel engine from Caterpillar, which means some sort of construction equipment.  How can you NOT buy this beauty? Yes, this beast is in my home state and is claimed to be “drivable, but…

    Add some Morning Wood to your Commute!

    Why do Chris Craft boats get all the vehicular woodworking attention?  Here we have a cabinetmaker’s interpretation of a pickup truck. Do you really need to know more?  Well, okay, there’s a bit of information available.  The frame was apparently custom-made, though part of the front is from a Chevette.  Also, the engine and automatic…

  • Homemade “Micro Jeep” (WTF!)

    Homemade “Micro Jeep” (WTF!)

    Here we have a homemade Jeepish thing with only two-wheel drive.  Hmm. The seller claims this will go 55 MPH, but we wonder if we’d be brave enough to try!  The engine is listed as an “Anon” two-cylinder, but we imagine that means it’s an Onan. The scariest thing here is that the seller says…

  • Richard Scarry’s dream car – the GoldBug

    Richard Scarry’s dream car – the GoldBug

    This is the unholy marriage of a Honda Goldwing motorcycle with a VW Beetle.  Given the combo, we’ll call it GoldBug, which was, of course, the elusive character in Richard Scarry’s children’s books back in the day. The pictures speak volumes here, so we  won’t ad any more than we already have.  Interestingly, this is…
