Gallery: Cruising the Misfits of Motordom

We haven't come to the Peterson Automotive Museum to see the 253-mph Bugatti Veyron or Steve McQueen's vintage Jaguar or even the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame. We've come to gaze with slack-jawed wonder upon the "Misfits of Motordom," a collection of cars so half-baked they make the Pontiac Aztek look like a stroke of genius. Some of them might have seemed like good ideas at the time — though it's hard to believe anyone thought a propeller-driven car would catch on — but in hindsight you can only wonder, "What the hell were they thinking?" Here are some of our favorites. Left: In the 1950s, someone at Studebaker-Packard wondered what a nuclear-powered car might look like. He decided it would look like a boat. : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comIt's the multitool of automobiles — a boat you can drive or a car you can putter around the lake in. The German company sold 3,878 of them between 1961 and 1968, which is almost as amazing as the fact they all used Lucas electrical systems. : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comLook up "commercial failure" in any business textbook and you'll find the Edsel. It was big, it was ugly and you've gotta wonder why anyone bought them. Kinda like the Ford Excursion. : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comPaul M. Lewis founded Highway Aircraft in 1962 with the dream of building "the economical, safe, smog-free, modernistic, quiet, easy-to-handle, easy-to-park car millions of people want." He built five of these instead. : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comThe Helicron has three wheels (the one in back steers). It's made mostly of wood, and it's powered by a propeller. How on earth did it fail? : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comStreamlined design was all the rage in the 1930s, and Chrysler was the first American automaker to use aerodynamic principles to design a full-size car. The Airflow bombed, but it was way ahead of its time — and how often can you say that about Chrysler? : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comFront-wheel drive was a great idea. Rear-engine cars are a great idea. Front-wheel-drive rear-engine cars are not a great idea. : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comToyota rules the world these days. But when it arrived in America with the Toyopet, they couldn't give them away. Americans thought it was too small and too slow. They were right. : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comRoad & Track called the Pacer "fresh, bold and functional-looking." Love it or hate it, the funky fishbowl on wheels was designed to replace the Gremlin, and it did just that. No one bought this car, either. : Photo: Jim Merithew/Wired.comWhat can you say? The 3,200-pound Bi-Autogo is part tractor, part motorcycle and all wrong. About the only thing this "**** might be good for is recycling all that copper on the radiator. That said, it has the distinction of being the first American vehicle powered by a V-8 engine. أكثر... |
