How about everyone posting the weirdest vehicle in your collection? (Randy R., just one please!) I would have shown my Corgi Hovercraft but it's too soon since I posted that one. Instead this float from the 1946 Detroit Automotive Jubilee by AutoCult has to be in my top five. Post away guys! And I wouldn't mind more Swan Car pics either.

This is a tough one, because I collect a lot of weird stuff. And Autocult is the king of weird. Most of them are currently packed away but I dug up some images online that represent my absolute favorite and uniquely unique models.
