Sebring CityCar – 1974

We start with this fascinating 1974 design which, surprisingly, was electric.

Many people think electric cars are a recent trend, but they were common in the early 20th century.
In 1975, Sebring introduced the CityCar to the public.

Its early motors produced only 3.5 horsepower—similar to a lawnmower.
Even though its 40-mile range was impressive for the time, you still couldn’t take it on the highway.
Its top speed was under 40 mph, which made it useful only for short trips.

 

Citroën C4 Cactus – 2017

This design is unusual, though not necessarily ugly.
It stands out for having plastic air-bump panels on its doors and front section—something rarely seen on modern cars.
It also features an unconventional placement of lights across the body, giving it a quirky and unique look.

 

1999 Isuzu VehiCROSS

This model was based on the two-door Isuzu Trooper, a solid off-road vehicle.
It featured Isuzu’s advanced Torque-On-Demand system, which worked similarly to the 4×4 technology seen in many vehicles today.
Its aggressive body lines and compact proportions made it instantly recognizable.

 

2003 Chevrolet SSR

In 2003, Chevrolet attempted something bold: combining a sports car, a pickup truck, and a convertible into one vehicle.
Unfortunately, the result didn’t perform as well as it looked.

Built on a heavy SUV chassis, even its 300-horsepower V8 couldn’t deliver the speed the design suggested.
Still, the SSR gained a small but loyal fan base due to its originality.

Although many of these vehicles were produced in limited numbers—or owned only by a few lucky collectors—they are still fascinating pieces of automotive history.
They highlight how creativity, experimentation, and bold ideas push the industry forward.
