More Madness from The Concours d'Lemons

 The Concours d'Lemons is a car show, "Celebrating the oddball, mundane and truly awful of the automotive world."


 

 

 

 

 

 
 

This 1954 Nash Rambler has been repowered by some kind of Ford turbocharged engine.









 

A nice 1967 Dodge Dart GTS. This one is just about ready for legit car shows.













 

This 1994 Autozam AZ-1 is a minicar from Japan.

  
 
Somebody decided to save a 1982 diesel Chevette. Neither the Chevette nor GM's diesels are remembered with much fondness.

  










 


This Diamond T truck has been turned into... something. I once saw it driving on I-5 in downtown Seattle.

  
 
This 1961 Fiat Jolly might be worth $150,000. Crazy but true.

  










 

 

This 1950 Morris Minor has been repowered with a Mercedes AMG engine. I'm surprised that engine doesn't bend the frame on this car.








 

The Citroën Méhari. Life in plastic, it's fantastic.

1959 Nash Metropolitan convertible

A favorite of both collectors and Weird Al Yankovic, the Metropolitan was the only really small car you could buy from an American brand in the 1950s. Every single car (except for the Corvette) made by General Motors in 1959 qualified as "full-size". Sure, American Motors sold "compact cars", but they were actually pretty big vehicles.
