Celebrity Eurosport Wagon, Eh!
Remember the Chevy Celebrity? Yes, it was basic transportation in its day and precisely zero celebrities drove Celebrities. Even a car this boring had a special edition, in this case known as the Eurosport. This Eurosport wagon is as cool as a Celebrity can possibly be. Is that cool enough? This car is a Canadian…

All for Naut? Nautica, that is…
Co-branded cars sometimes make sense, but it’s clear that the buying public never really “got” the Mercury Villager Nautica special edition. These were around for a few years and with a couple color schemes, all involving blue and white with a yellow stripe (of course!). We here at Oddimotive HQ really like white wheels, which…

Björn Stunner:1984 Thunderbird Fila Edition
This car will make you want to put on your fresh Filas. The 70s brought us a great many ‘designer’ edition luxury cars, but this 80s personal luxury coupe comes with a tie-in to the then-hot, European sportswear company. Perhaps this car was good enough for Björn Borg, who pitched Fila back in the day. We…

Dodge Ramcharger Macho Power Wagon
Outside of serious Mopar fans and people in Mexico, where a later generation was sold, it seems that few remember that Chrysler offered a competitor to the Bronco and Blazer back in the day. In the very rare category is the Plymouth Trailduster, which was a twin to today’s feature vehicle, the Dodge Ramcharger. This…

Remember the Lumina? If so, why?
This front-wheel drive two-door vaguely resembles Chevy’s NASCAR entries in the early 90s much like today’s Camry vaguely resembles Toyota’s entry. Given this body was used in the race series, the Lumina was subjected to NASCAR Special Edition treatment! This particular version celebrates the late, great Dale Earnhardt. If you’re a die hard NASCAR fan,…

UR SVT Lightning? Child’s Play!
A first-gen Ford SVT Lightning is something of an Oddimobile in any case, as this was the only ‘performance’ version of this generation of F-Series and, frankly, was fairly modest. This one isn’t exactly stock, however, and one of the mods is what landed it on this page. There originally had a mildly hopped up…

The Other Super Coupe
Most enthusiasts are aware of the 1989-1995 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe and most know that it was a torque monster that, despite its relative large size, delivered impressive engine performance and handling. What many don’t know is that Plymouth offered a Volare Super Coupe for 1978 – as if the Volare wasn’t super enough in…

Not All Outbacks Were Wagons
Most people conscious in the late 90s remember the Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee for those conscious in the 80s) Subaru ads for the Outback wagon. The Outback has been a big success for Subaru because it offers all the things those ads touted – ground clearance, storage space and AWD competitive with contemporary SUVs (body…

Buzz On Up To Fresno For This Honey Bee
Ah yes, the legendary Datsun B210 Honey Bee. As we document in a previous post, this was a stopgap measure to move a bunch of base B210s in yellow. For some reason, it continued for more than one year. This is still one of the best of the worst of “special” edition cars. The seller…

Fulfill Your Land Yacht Fantasies!
When I look at this car, I hear 70s porn music and picture a pimp walking up to it. The seller seems to agree, based on this quote: “This is a great Huggy Bear Cruiser.” This is a claimed 42K miles original and the condition supports that claim. The seller also claims it is one…
