The Weirdest Cars In History
A Statement Or An Exclamation?
It’s often said that the way we present ourselves in public says a lot about our personalities, from the way we style our hair to the clothes we wear. So what does it say when our choice of automobile is…a little out there? Here are some strange cars that certainly make a statement.
1970 AMC Gremlin
The Gremlin is remembered primarily for its odd shape and its odd name. Based on the AMC Hornet model, but with the back scaled down, the Gremlin was popular for its fuel efficiency during the 1970s oil crisis.

1961 Amphicar
If you’ve ever found yourself on a flooded road, or just want to keep driving when you get to the lake, the 1961 Amphicar from Germany is perfect for you! In addition to its engine, the Amphicar was equipped with two propellers for aquatic motoring. The front wheels acted as rudders, directing the car.
Aston Martin Cygnet
Originally intended as an affordable, fuel-efficient street car, the Cygnet is now a collector's item due to its lack of sales. Able to hit only just over 100 mph, the car was not popular on its release, despite having the Aston Martin brand behind it.
Asylum Pea Car
Frozen vegetable company Birds Eye had this unique automobile built for a 2005 commercial. The tiny green car has Volkswagen headlights and a Honda engine, all attached to an off-road go-kart chassis. It’s currently on display at the Unilever offices in England.
