Unusual Cars. Have You Photographed Or Seen Any?

Finally found the John Lennon Rolls Royce that I took a photo of in Malaga Transport Museum in Spain....

I think classic cars shouldn't be messed with such as the over decorated designs painted on Lennon's Rolls Royce and Janice Joplin's Porsche. @Ken N Tx @squatting dog
 
My last boss was big into cars, he had a 55 chvey bellaire that he drove in certain parades. he had, I think it was a chevy chevel classic hot rod, a convertible. He bought a very well known corvette at the an auto auction in Scotsdale AZ. The car has a name and was also shown at the corvetter museum for six months.

He was very involved with the Catholic Church and handled the auction for them of a classic car. I think it was some kind of Studebaker from the thirties. The owner left it to the church as a donation. I did get to see it and it was the most beautiful thing. To see a car with that kind of pearl paint/finish was breathtaking.
The interior was just as beautiful and I think it was orginal.
I'd like to see these.
 
I saw a Tesla Cybertruck out in the wild the other day. It's nice, but I wonder if the stainless steel was worth the trouble? It could be a nice update to truck design with a regular metal and a regular paint job too.
 
I enjoy looking at cars that have been modified either mechanically or in redesign. The cars shown prior to these 2 pictures below are mostly considered as "novelty" cars. I think the people that built those cars have a lot of engineering experience. I give them credit for being able to redesign cars that are so unusual.

Here are 2 pictures of a 2024 Corvette, Z06m Series C8. It has 670 horsepower. it also has a 10-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. It is not your typical street car. I drove one of these cars that was at my local Chevrolet dealership. Price tag on this little beauty is over $120,000. Each dealership gets only 1 of these cars.

I don't like the paint color, but I wouldn't pass it up if it was offered to me for free or maybe even half price. I have a bad back, so getting in and out is a bit of a chore, but I can get by the pain just to sit in it.

We saw this car when driving here in Idaho last week. We both thought it was so cool!
I like it. The siren is mounted on the fender. I remember seeing those type of cars in a museum we have near me. I think police cars started getting two-way radios in their cars in about 1929. Not sure.
