Those Odds and Sods Cars

The ODDS and SODS

This page is a collection of what I call ODDs and SODs
Some old, some new, some famous, some not so famous
Some rare, some not so rare
Some unusual, some not so unusual
Some from North America
Most are from other places.
All are interesting
Cars that I just didn't have a place
to put but thought that
they should be shown none the less
I don't know the year of some of them but hope you enjoy them anyway and like the rest of my web pages you are invited to submit and pictures that you have that could be used on this page

Well I thought the Wiener Car, shown below would take top spot for some time but I was wrong.
These pictures of a Road Boat were submitted by Ron Evans, Long Beach, CA
I was told that this truck started it's life using 1948 / 1950's White model 3000 sheet metal on a 73 GMC front wheel drive motorhome chassis. This Truck/Boat has had a custom back end made to resemble a boat. The back skin is all stainless.
It can be steered either from the cab or from the upper deck, using a quick-connect linkage to the steering column.

How about this van for something different. Tom McDonald, Collinsville, IL sent me this picture of his '68 UltraVan which is a 20ft. made in Hutchison, Kansas with Corvair engine, dash controls and steering. It was built with an aircraft frame and it really gets the looks going down the highway.

The Oscar Mayer Wiener Car

Every time I get a picture that I think deserves top spot on this page another equally or better one comes along.
How many of you remember this one??

This is one of my favorites in this series
And you thought that the HYBIRD was a new idea

1906/08 Columbia Electric Victoria
"The Haybird"

This picture was submitted by Galen Handy
This car was owned by Henry Riddle, hearse builder.
The following story was told by his great grandaughter.
"Great grandfather did not trust the new motorized vehicles. His wife was driving in the country one day and the battery died so he had to rescue her. After that he attached shafts to the car so the next time it broke down he could hitch it to a horse which was relatively easy to fine wherever you were"

These pictures of this beatiful 1937 MGVA were taken and submitter by Paul Black, Tampa FL. Paul is a regular contributor to oldcarandtruckpictures.com These pictures were taken at Davis Island’s Auto Fest April 9, 2011 at the Peter O. Knight airport located just south of downtown Tampa.

1981 Triumph TR8	1981 Triumph TR8
This car is owned by Charlie Dooley, Port Coq., BC and was rebuilt by "British Auto specialists in 1995/97

1981 Triumph TR8
Some history. There were only roughly 2,800 TR8s built between 1979 and 1982. 1981 was the last year of any kind of production as they made 414 only. 405 for the North American market and 9 only for the home market. There were a number (around 80 I believe) that were manufactured in late 1981 that were classified as 1982 models.

	These series of pictures were submitted by Michael Litvack, Montreal. PQ, Canada These pictures are from a tiny booklet issued in Quebec and was given away at the car show at the SHOWMART in 1960. The specs of each car/truck are included in the booklet. These were the smallest cars at the time, true “bubble” cars. I left the French descriptions on, on some of them. Tires were 10 inches on the coupe 400/119 inches long/1015 lbs/2oo ccs. The van and “limousine” were 200ccs/10 inch wheels/915 lbs.

One of the wildest Jags ever made, The 1968 Jaguar 420G RHD Saloon

A Czech Tatra, usually reserved for the uppers in the Communist part in Czechoslovakia in the mid 1960’s. The Czechs were known for, besides Pilsener, guns and airplanes...and the Tatra, named after the moutain range. Style looks like a cross between 1960 Valiant and a mid 30’s Scarab. Trivia note...during the occupation by German troops after 1938,	Tatra Motors provided the German commanding officers with their cars. WHY? Because they were so fast, that they flew off the road, and killed as many as bullets. The rear fin in the 30’s acted as a stabiliser. Trucks are still being made by this historic company, on a par with Mercedes. Seen in Montreal

MG, probably a TC with the harp wheel openings. Seen in Westmount, Quebec.

A Replicar of a MG TC or TD, Acapulco Mexico... the grill is a bit of a stretch...	A 2cv Citroen... The car of choice, when they were cheap...everything was optional on the car...seats were straw. The quick way to determine age is to look at the headlights: the early ones were round, the later were Square. This one was restored in France, and cost about $12,000 to have it done and shipped to Canada.

The not so famous Volkswagen THING	Fiat 500, also called a Topolino, like a mouse. This car put Italy on the roads after WW2, and were cheap to own and run.

Graduation...1961 Renault Dauphin a tin car with a coffee grinder as a motor ! $1600 new, now $16,000. 27 HP, or should I say, 27 NO Power. Montreal to Boston return, $10.00, 1961	Fiat 500R. This picture was submitted by Alan Collinge He took the picture in 2006 while on vacation with his wife in the South of France.
