If you can’t quite pinpoint it, this bean shaped cruiser is what toted our friend Erkel around from Family Matters. This italian-esque offering from BMW was definitely outside of BMW’s small 4 door and coupe lineup, even in a time when they were not known for making fast sedans.

Looking something more akin to Ferrari, Volvo would enter the running for probably one of the most beautiful cars in the world. Italian from the front and an all Mustang profile, this skipped on the healthy motor offering a 1.8 and 2.0 4-cylinder; still putting out an impressive 118hp in the 60s.
Psst. It came in a wagon…

Did you know we almost had a Lamborghini military truck rather than the Hummer? This was originally developed for the US military and came with a Chevrolet 350 for ease of service, but after things fell through, what do you do? Put leather seats and the V12 from the Diablo in it and create the slowest, most awkward vehicle that Lamborghini has ever created.

I have no proof to back this up, but I feel that David Bowie would have owned one of these. This… bizarre 4 door luxury/GT cruiser from Aston Martin is known for its insane length and beautiful and avant garde interior. They also made the decision to go full electric for the interface including a screen, touch controls and LEDs everywhere. Really a site to behold.
Psst. It came in a wagon to….

Another military vehicle converted for civilian use, this one actually saw time in the field serving as the VW Kubelvagen in the 30’s and WWII. This lightweight jeep competitor fit right in as an off road offering for its beetle loving market.
