I'm British and I've never seen these cars before, but I have to say a big thank you to the men and women who have kept these cars alive. We have similar vehicles in Europe and like you we won't let them die. Long live the failures!!
Some nice cars here. Looking back to the '60s and '70s, the concept and prototype cars of back then looked so futuristic and cool. Even more futuristic and imaginative than cars of today.
great vid nice to see new car's that you haven't used in a load of your other vids please keep it up as I'm now glad I didn't unsubscribe due to the feelings of déjà vu
I saw that same Stout Scarab in various stages of restoration. The work was done by Autocraft in Menominee Falls, Wisconsin. The first time I saw it all of the sheet metal was off it and I thought they were restoring an airplane.
I remember building a model of the Dodge Deora, while staying with my grandparents one summer in the 1960s. I recall my frustration, because I ended up with a big yellow drip of spray paint running down the left front fender. Not sure if I finished it or not. I had a bad habit of rarely ever finishing kits.
the Dodge Deora is a dream car of mine since I was a wee lad. I had the hot wheels car of it and I also built the MPC plastic model of it. One of, if not the only vehicles, again in my humble opinion to make moon hubcaps look cool on a car. Any other wheels just wouldn't look correct. This has been my favorite of these dream cars video's to come along as yet, job very well done.
I see it had a bed, but I couldn't help but think its shape was like an AMC Gremlin with the bed in front and would go that direction. Beautifully maintained!
If the Amphi-Car had been made with fibreglas, stainless steel or all aluminum, it probably would have had a greater success in sales and been around a lot longer. I rmember first seein one in action in the 1964-65 World's fair when they were demonstrating their product and trying to recruit car dealers for distribution. My friend's dad (already a used car dealer) almost did it but instead bought into Subaru a couple of years later.
The design of the Manta Ray was obviously influenced by two GM concept cars from 1951 -- the LeSabre for the front and the Buick XP-300 for the rear. The taillight lenses are from the 1952-1954 Lincoln parts bin. I wonder how wide its turning circle is with those skirted front wheels. And the spinner nose looks just the right height for goosing pedestrians.
The Amphicar is hands down the most Unique car ever built. I would bet that a Company building a vehicle like the Military's "Duck" would be profitable today. There has to be a million fisherman that would love a Car/boat combination vehicle, myself being one.
That third car has something of the Rumpler Tropfenwagen of the 1920's - they were used as taxicabs in Berlin, Germany & later on "recycled" in Fritz Lang's movie "Metropolis"
The Manta Ray is obviously a paraphrase of the '51 LeSabre show car from Buick, with, judging from the description of the engine, Studebaker Commander power.
I’m not that old but my first car was an 89 Plymouth horizon and it had safety bumpers on it, they were metal I’d use them to pop open beer bottles can’t do that with plastic bumpers now
My 1970s Deora does not have 1965 Mustang tail lights on the side. It still has the two surfboards in the back though. Maybe because that one's a Dodge mine's a Hot Wheels.
Some guy brought one to Lake St Joseph qc. He vaunted the car blah blah blah, then got in, drove it across the beach into the lake where the car decided to follow the bottom of the lake instead of floating. A jet boat finally pulled it out of ten feet of water where it had rested.
Looks as if a GM Buick LeSabre (show car) with a Packard rear end got a case of Lockheed (P-38 and Constellation) triple fin disease. Same virus mutated and infected the same era Cadillacs to a lesser degree and sprouted 2 fins instead this cars triple.
The "Never seen" must be click bait because I've seem most of these cars, at least in pictures. Built a 1/25 scale Deora and had a Hot wheels replica as well.
I was fishing in a boat around the age of 10 and when i seen car drive down the boat ramp and into the water i yelled they were going to drown then the the outboard kicked in and they went putting by us waving.I was stunned.
The Germans in WW2 designed an amphibious car called the "Schwimmwagen" (swimming car ... duh!), which was based on their Jeep equivalent, the Kubelwagen. Apparently the Schwimmwagen was quite successful as amphibious vehicles went.
2 airplanes without wing, 2 boats with weels, 1 yellow vacuum cleaner (it's on carpet), 3 lawn mowers (this video just shows them on the grass) and the best for the end 1 suit case... They are realy weird cars.
I'm British and I've never seen these cars before, but I have to say a big thank you to the men and women who have kept these cars alive. We have similar vehicles in Europe and like you we won't let them die. Long live the failures!!
Thank you man :) Have a great day !

Cars of today are neither futuristic nor imaginative at all!!
All of them are awesome. I love cars from this era, they look much nicer than today’s cars.
Another Settlement needs your help + Me too :)
Great video!
Thank you ! We appreciate it :)
I love automotive history. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏿
great vid nice to see new car's that you haven't used in a load of your other vids please keep it up as I'm now glad I didn't unsubscribe due to the feelings of déjà vu
Fantastic. It would be wonderful to see the unique engines, but who's complaining? :-) THANKS!
Scarab the original crossover. What's the optical effect that starts around 5:12? You see it in videos now & then sort of a mini trippy wave going on.
That would be youtube's auto-stabilize
Nice to know. I've even had posters state they didn't know what was wrong with their camera. Thanks
It's something with the trim lines or grillwork. Gives the illusion of wavy jello.
Thank you for showing the thumbnail car. Hate click-bait. Great video. 👍👍👍
flymasterA + Thank you! And have a nice day ♥
Wonderful collection.
I saw that same Stout Scarab in various stages of restoration. The work was done by Autocraft in Menominee Falls, Wisconsin. The first time I saw it all of the sheet metal was off it and I thought they were restoring an airplane.
Deora, first Hot Wheels car I ever had. It had two plastic surfboards laying on the back.
Oh yeah I remember that
The Mazda Suitcase Car. Yeah, I don't see any safety issues there at all.

Those AMF models were extremely detailed back in the '60's! Too bad we didn't get Adderall back then!
Cool! :)
simply love these ones .....amazing show and wish i was there ...thanks for sharing

THOSE CARS ARE STILL RUNNING ...CARS NOW FALL APART. THEY WERE MADE TO LAST. I LOVE THE OLDER CARS MADE OUT OF STEEL AND CHROME.
Wow that Thunderbolt looks very nice👍
Agree :)

That yellow Dodge is my favorite. Beautiful automobile.
Buen video
Very beautiful amazing cars wow love the colours beautiful thanks friend have a very nice day

1 of 1 i think on the dodge deora my friend
At the time, I never considered the Amphacar all that unusual. We saw them all the time.
The Wisconsin Dells ducks!
The suitcase car is just hillarious.
*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
Actually I think most people know about the Amphi-Car
I was lucky enough to see both the Stout Scarab and the Streamline X Coupe at the same event
2:50 amphibious car needs life jackets 5:46 Wow Batman 6:24 get the electric version of this suitcase car!
They look like fallout cars. I think old cars look more futuristic than today's cars.
A
0:37 whats that black car passing the manta Ray?
very very cool
More Life + Thank you sir
That first one looked like they just hung Packard taillights on the '51 LeSabre concept.
Уоu know you have a weird car when someone asks "Oh, that's the front!".
...you should have a look at the "Zündapp Janus"...a really weird car...
Great 👍🏼 🇺🇸
My dad worked for North American Aviation from 1951 to 1969 at LAX, Downey and they flew him to Palmdale from LAX and back most days.
The yellow Dodge is ultra cool!!!
Bürki Adrian+ I agree with you :)
Car News TV ;)
I'm sure I had a Hot-Wheels version in 1968, and another with a bubble top that I just can't find.
I see it had a bed, but I couldn't help but think its shape was like an AMC Gremlin with the bed in front and would go that direction. Beautifully maintained!
Me in no.

... instead of drywall, to keep the costs down...
5:28 what type of car is it?

I wonder how wide its turning circle is with those skirted front wheels. And the spinner nose looks just the right height for goosing pedestrians.
And I believe from the description of the powerplant that it must have been a Studebaker Commander engine.
incredible cars ! Love it !!!
The 2nd cars performance figures are very impressive for the age
Love that Deora. I had a model of one when i was a kid.
bruce preston + wow :) deora is my favourite from this list
3:50
The Dodge Deora looks fantastic but the front end crash safety must be non-existent.
well, it probably has better safety than the suitcase car...
@@steve1978ger
Anything would be safer than that.
The Amphicar is hands down the most Unique car ever built. I would bet that a Company building a vehicle like the Military's "Duck" would be profitable today. There has to be a million fisherman that would love a Car/boat combination vehicle, myself being one.
@Gappie Al Kebabi the Germans stole all their ideas from blacks in African colonies....
That suitcase car looks fun but is unsafe. I prefer my old bike and helmet instead.
Anybody knows what the car to the right of the Manta Ray is? (the cream one, not the silver one)
I first thought AMX, then Iso, then What the #3!! is that thing?
0:07 man.. what is that car parked next to it to the right (viewer view)
Evidently ,the first car had the ability to drill through walls
That third car has something of the Rumpler Tropfenwagen of the 1920's - they were used as taxicabs in Berlin, Germany & later on "recycled" in Fritz Lang's movie "Metropolis"
3:49 nice .this is the future

Quanto as modificações de viatura são fantástico e são alguns deles muito inspiradores tenho feito o acompanhamento e acho fixe
Very interesting
Deora had magic!!!
I got an amphibious car. It goes deep; like to the bottom.
BunzeeBear b
I saw an Amphicar in Owega New York in the 90's coming out of a river, it was red and had boating numbers on it.
That "Deora" looks great - THAT would be a "truck" for me...
I'll take the Dodge Deora anytime , it looks awesome .
My favorite as well.
@4:00 is it a Two Deora?
One must walk like Quasimodo, after driving the suitcase car! :-D
3:22 "sea ways" bro 😎 !
I saw the manta ray in a TV show on velocity channel last week. that thing is awsome
I've never seen the Mazda Suitcase car. Talk about a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist!
I could just see a suit driving up to some downtown bldg to go to some Corporate meeting. Wouldn't his peers be envious? LMAO
I miss the days of real bumpers and lots of chrome.
I’m not that old but my first car was an 89 Plymouth horizon and it had safety bumpers on it, they were metal I’d use them to pop open beer bottles can’t do that with plastic bumpers now
Manually operated voice activated backup camera on that Chrysler.

I thought I’ve seen everything but that last one , the Mazda Suitcase is one handy way to travel. 👍
ОБАЛДЕТЬ ! КАКИЕ ТОЛЬКО АВТОМОБИЛИ НЕ СОЗДАЛИ АМЕРИКАНЦЫ !!! СУПЕР !!!
Very beautiful amazing looks beautiful cars
The "Never seen" must be click bait because I've seem most of these cars, at least in pictures. Built a 1/25 scale Deora and had a Hot wheels replica as well.
I know a average bit about cars but didn’t know about any cars other than the Amphi Car thing
@@local38on-tv - Fair enough but a better title would be "8 Of The Weirdest Cars You may have never seen, or have probably never seen... ; )
Ive seen a belgian car with a messershmit bf-109 motor in it, it's like 100 liter per hour lol but the sound is stunning
I swear I thought that first car was going to back into the water behind it.
Esse último parece uma gambiarra 🤣
those were the days to remember
I like the Manta Ray
I need to get me one of those Amphicars down here in Louisiana before the next flood like the one in 2016.
I was fishing in a boat around the age of 10 and when i seen car drive down the boat ramp and into the water i yelled they were going to drown then the the outboard kicked in and they went putting by us waving.I was stunned.
Never seen a Dodge Deora, huh? We had AMT or Revell models of them in the 1960's...
O never saw one. It looks like "Thunderbirds are Go"!
The Germans in WW2 designed an amphibious car called the "Schwimmwagen" (swimming car ... duh!), which was based on their Jeep equivalent, the Kubelwagen. Apparently the Schwimmwagen was quite successful as amphibious vehicles went.
QueenKatz8 Kubalwagen went on to become VW Thing 30 years later.
cool
0:33 Welcome to the Fallout Baby !
The suitcase car is the best......
Good luck trying to get that suitcase past customs on your flying trip. Gas tank? You mean potential bomb?
At 86, I drive a 2002 Buick Town Park Ultra, all leather, with fuzz dice and wheel cover,
2 airplanes without wing, 2 boats with weels, 1 yellow vacuum cleaner (it's on carpet), 3 lawn mowers (this video just shows them on the grass) and the best for the end 1 suit case... They are realy weird cars.
the Dodge Deora was penned by Harry Bentley Bradley and Built by the Alexander Bros of Detroit . .
People
I've seen an amphicar before
An Amphicar club took theirs for a swim in the Colorado below Davis Dam once, it was a trip.
I saw one Back in the Day, going in an out of a small pond. That's all they were good for; a one foot wave would'a swamped it.
I saw one once when I was a little kid. Thought it was the coolest thing in the world.
What's with the Australian flag on the Amphicar ??? Cheers from Down Under .
OMG, the gas turbine start-up I backed up to hear about eight times! WOW!
Ray Chang ou! Wow! Hey gringo, go and read some Schopenhauer...
most of these cars are shown at places we'll never get invited. minus that suitcase chainsaw.
Not a T-Shirt in the bunch, way too stuffy and snobby for me!
the Scarab looks like those silver insects dwelling under rocks in my yard....
Manta Ray would have been my favorite if it was truly powered by a duct engine fan like jets are, but instead it's just for decoration.
Futuristic turbine look; outdated piston-engine sound.
Could imagine it might deflect a head on , probably not
Wow the more I look at that Stout Scarab it makes me think of the that futuristic (for it's time)GM Bus, but shrunken.
Really weird,in Indonesia there are some bemo from daihatsu
More what than fabulous
If Manta Ray was James Bond car - the front air intake would house a missle.
wino0000006 + :D great idea !
First car looks straight out of Fallout.
The Stout Scarab's whole body seems to be moving from left to right and back.
Does anyone else see that?
Yeah, I wasn’t sure if it was moving or I really need to get some sleep.
