Like unusual cars?
Check these out. The Austin Champ is really unusual.

What a great show. At 300 exhibitors it's big enough to include a huge variety (which it certainly does) but small enough to let you see everything in a short day, with enough time to stop and take a closer look at cars of special interest to you. Loved the amazing home built racer. That Chevy C10 pickup is beyond museum quality. Thanks for posting, Dave.
Fun fact about the Karmann Ghia: Unlike most cars, the body appears to be a single stamping that includes front and rear fenders and fascias, door sills, and roof. There are no visible seams anywhere. This was apparently achieved through butt welding of panels to each other, a costly build approach that helped make the little Ghia quite expensive in its day at $2,725 in 1958. That was $800 more than a Beetle sedan, and about the same price as a nicely equipped Chevy Impala. But few other cars of the day had the style or the coachwork of the beautiful Karmann Ghia.
