The Weirdest Cars Ever Sold in America | 11 Forgotten Machines That Still Make No Sense Today

A jet-powered sedan that ran on tequila. A three-wheeled "wonder car" that turned out to be one of the biggest frauds of the 1970s. A pickup truck with backward-facing carnival seats bolted into the bed — on purpose. In this video, we count down 11 of the weirdest, most unnecessarily strange cars that ever rolled down an American road. From the fishbowl-shaped AMC Pacer and the gold-trimmed Stutz Blackhawk to the fire-prone Pontiac Fiero and the Chrysler Turbine Car that Chrysler built, loaned to ordinary families, and then crushed — these machines came from an era when automakers were willing to say yes to genuinely strange ideas. Sometimes it produced a disaster. Sometimes a legend. Usually both. In this countdown: 11. Cadillac Cimarron — the badge-engineering disaster Cadillac wants you to forget 10. Subaru BRAT — the backward jump seats that dodged a 25% tariff 9. Reliant Robin — Britain's three-wheeler that terrified American freeways 8. Pontiac Fiero — the mid-engine dream that burned out (sometimes literally) 7. Bricklin SV-1 — gullwing doors before the DeLorean, scandal included 6. Stutz Blackhawk — Elvis owned several; 24-karat gold trim came standard 5. AMC Pacer — the wide small car with a longer passenger door 4. Dodge Deora — the Hot Wheels legend that was actually real 3. Dymaxion Car — Buckminster Fuller's rear-steering zeppelin on wheels 2. The Dale — 70 MPG, $2,000, and almost entirely fake 1. Chrysler Turbine Car — the jet-powered future America crushed Which of these did you actually see in person? Drop your story in the comments.
