| | | What about the Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan, and the Mohs SafariKar? (Took this from wikipedia) The Ostentatienne Opera Sedan was offered at a F.O.B. price of $19,600 (1967), had a weight of 5,740 lb (2,600 kg), and sat on a 119 in (3.02 m) wheelbase. Prices have also been quoted at $25,600. [1] Tires for the vehicle were nitrogen filled 7.50”x20” (USA). The Ostentatienne was powered by an International Harvester truck engine. Entry into the car was from the rear; solid steel side rails (designed to protect passengers during a crash) prevented doors along the vehicles sides. The Ostentatienne could be ordered customized to suit its buyer’s wishes; Ming Dynasty styled oriental rugs, refrigerators and sealed beam taillights were some of the options available. Production is estimated at three to four vehicles per year. The SafariKar was produced between 1972 and 1979, and was no less exotic than the Ostentatienne. SafariKars were aluminum bodied automobiles, the exterior of which were upholstered in Naugahyde (vinyl) stretched over foam padding. Doors for the vehicle opened outward from the body on linear rods, again for side impact protection. The vehicle had a retractable hard top system. Options for the SafariKar included a television, four-wheel drive, two-way radio and a butane furnace. ..outrageous.

FLOP central, those things are ghastly.
| they were a flop, yes, but you ask anyone that has one and they love it. It's going to be one of those cars, like the Pacer, Gremlin, Pinto, Chevette, et al., that's going to have a niche market well into the future. You don't build a car that fugly and not have a cult behind it. By the way, urban legend behind the Aztek/Rendezvous was that the project manager was fired by Lutz, personally.
