  • Internet Sighting: Renault Le Van

    This was posted at Brown Car Appreciation Society on Facebook, which, needless to say, is one of our favorite places. We don’t know anything about it yet, but we’ve asked… Remember to send your sightings to oddimobiles@oddimotive.com!

  • Sightings: Newport Beach, CA July 6, 2017

    I went to Newport Beach for a Duffy Boat ride and was rewarded with a few odd sightings – all in one parking lot. This gem speaks mostly for itself, but we first noticed the Pep Boys hood scoops and the body side molding used on the hood, as well as the horrid decal work…

    Recent Oddimobile Sightings – January 10, 2016

    What with holidays and CES, Oddimotive (almost a one-man show) has been slow.  Fear not, however, as we’re back on a schedule!  Also, slow on posts doesn’t mean slow on sightings… Let’s get started… Let’s start with a lovely, almost Grabber Blue Festiva spotted at Malibu Creek State Park.  Surely this fits right in driving…

  • Reader Sighting: 1.5 Festivas!

    Reader Sighting: 1.5 Festivas!

    Reader Steve N. sent us this sighting.  No further explanation was available, but what else do you really need to know? It seems the owner made a mini-truck out of the Festiva and then missed the cargo space?  Regardless, we love it! Festivas make great autocross cars, but it’s not clear that this trailer can…

    Best of Aliso Viejo Cars and Coffee

    When we say “best”, we mean “most odd.”  As a bonus, many shots include a two-year-old Oddimotive fan! Our first feature is a Caprice wagon with a 50s panel theme.  The guy was packing up to leave, so we didn’t get details… Apparently, it still has some cargo capacity.  Note detailed chrome work. The interior…

  • OC Fairgrounds Cars and Coffee #1 (August 22, 2015)

    OC Fairgrounds Cars and Coffee #1 (August 22, 2015)

    Today was the inaugural OC Cars and Coffee event at the Orange County Fairgrounds.  The event was certainly a success.  There were some issues around getting everyone (C&C exhibitors and spectators in, plus swap meet folks) into the event, but that can be worked out.  The Ruby’s Diner food truck was a great touch!  The…

  • Sighting:The Neighborhood DeLorean

    Sighting:The Neighborhood DeLorean

    This DeLorean is ocassionally spotted around the condos across the street from Oddimotive HQ.  Today, the phone was handy for a pic.

    Four-speed Chevy wagon in black with red interior.  Does it get better?

  • Irvine Cars and Coffee Sightings: June 14, 2014

    Irvine Cars and Coffee Sightings: June 14, 2014

    It was a beautiful day for Cars and Coffee, so there was a huge turnout.  Arriving at 6am helped!  The Oddimotive Brown Z was in attendance, along with the Model A Woody. Why not a classically odd vehicle right up front?  This Pinto Wagon MPG edition was parked right next to us. Interior was pretty…

    Irvine Cars and Coffee Sightings: May 3, 2014

    Here we have one of the later Dodge Darts, which shares sheetmetal (and a lot of other parts) with the Plymouth Duster.  This one is a Demon 340 and, yes, it had a four-speed.  The 340 was a high revving, often underrated engine, so this car is probably a blast. Here’s another shot with the…
