Strange, Weird and Obscure Car Meet 

I can't believe someone could put that much effort into a PT Cruiser.

This is giving me some "non-insane" Mr. Regular at car shows and I'm liking it

In the UK we have ’Festival of the unexceptional’ which brings out some decidedly bland everyday cars whilst the HubNut Social meets bring out a very diverse array of cars. These oddball events usually have something for everyone. On a side note your channel has been putting into words & pictures questions I’ve been asking about cars for years. The Whitewall tyres episode was a great example, so here is a suggestion. Car horns, whatever happened to the Oooga air pressure horns of early 20th century cars & why/when did we transition to electric horns? Trawl RU-vid videos now & you will find virtually nothing on this subject whilst Google yields only little bits of information scattered in wider articles.

The detailed sound of Ed puking at the sight of a hideous red 4 door is priceless!!

I actually spat my lunch out with laughter when I heard the puking noise when the Multipla flashed up 🤣 I love quirky and weird cars over anything dull and predictable. Great video Edd. Also, have you got much outsourced B-roll video left?

If its of any consequence, the PT Cruiser is and was considered a bit of a joke over in Americaland too! Thanks for the video.

Oldsmobile silhouette; the Cadillac of minivans. The only thing memorable ever said about it. From the movie, get Shorty. One of my favorites

Hey! The video was too short! Give me more weirdness! A few months ago I was at a car show and saw a few oddities myself. Here goes: 1. Bradley coupe - It's a sporty wedge body that is designed to fit a Volkswagen Beetle chassis. Slow but cool and has gullwing doors. 2. Facel Vega - There weren't a lot of these high end GT's here in the States, but this one was gorgeous in burgundy respray. 3. Essex-Terraplane - This was a sub-brand of Hudson and were quite popular when new. This one had a V8 crammed in the engine bay. 4. Bricklin and Delorean - Two failed car designs that looked cool with gullwing doors. 5. Nissan Figaro (2) -Cute little retro cars from Japan, never sold in the US market. 6. BMW Isetta - Beautifully restored and roadworthy (I came on it on the road earlier that day). I'd hate to hit a semi head on with it though. 7. Cadillac Eldorado convertable, 1983 - In the early 1980's the Eldorado was a fixed roof car, but a few were converted by ASC and sold through Caddy dealers. Rare.

That PT Cruiser... I HATE IT... but actually I LOVE WHAT THEY DID 😍 I'd never waste such effort on that car, but i am glad someone did. Who can deny that few things in the car world are as satisfying as seeing a car get love like that. I mean, personally i think it's hideous... and yet i cannot help but COMPLETELY respect why they did it and actually what they did too 👌 Well done...

Great episode! The custom PT Cruiser is pretty awesome. My grandmother had a 1980s Cadillac deVille until recently, which I used to drive when I visited. It felt more like boating than "driving". She's the dutch side of he family, BTW, a few generations after they arrived in the USA.

The Mitsubishi Diamante was made in Australia and exported. Damn nice cars.

2:50 When I was visiting Amsterdam back in 2014, I saw this the Pontiac version of this van (Trans Sport) being used as a Taxi, waiting in front of Amsterdam Centraal. I also saw a RAM 1500 (regular cab) parked along one of the canals. I know it was only a regular cab, but it looked HUGE and completely out of place.

5:06 I love how, in this crowd, a Saab 900 is the "normal" car towing the Ogle!

I love your sarcastic sense of humor! You can make me laugh with nearly every episode. Thank you, Ed!

That Mitsubishi Diamante is actually called Galant. They changed so little I almost mistook it for my generation. It DOES share with the "koreans" as some even used the same V6 engines. I checked 3 different cars - all were underneath the same car.

Huh, Dutch Rage 😁 Not gonna lie, I like what they did to that PT Cruiser

My first vehicle out of University was a hand-me-down Oldsmobile Silhouette. Mine was white and had cloth seats. Fun facts: The 5 rear seats were completely removable, creating a flat load floor. The rear seats could be installed in a variety of configurations. The wipers both swept from the center to the outside.

1:31 This was the luxury export version of an Australian car the Mitsubishi Magna. As far as I know all the parts and body were designed in Australia and exclusive to Magna's.

That Diamante was designed and built in Australia and exported to the USA. Australians called it the Verada.

As an emblem collector and American, I can guarantee you that just the badges and hood ornament alone are worth more than a PT Cruiser is here.

I have not seen a Yugo in the USA for at least 30 years. I guess they would be considered collectors items. Ed have you seen a Trabant at any of the car shows you go to? That would be a real attention getter and you could definitely hear it.

I swear to God half the reason I watch this show/channel is the Dutch accent 😂. Please move to the USA and open a car dealership selling used cars... with that voice you can sell me a pimp mobile in a heartbeat 🤣🤣🤣

Funny how one country's junk yard car "PT-Cruser" is another country's car-show car.

I like the look of the dustbuster!

Yugo! I love the Yugo. People get really confused when I say the Yugo GV is my dream car but it really is. Such a cool car

Ed, you are a riot! Keep up the great content I love it!

At 6:04 ...this car combines the 30's, 40's, and 50's, with the modern age...I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!

4:49 Really Ed? The name plate is in plain sight. Its an Ogle SX1000. An English front wheel drive sports coupe based on the original Mini. I had seen article about a LHD Ogle with that color found in Belgium by Dutchman Jeroen Booij. Sigh... this is what happens when you neglect your study of the British classics.

You take that barf soundbite back. The GM Dust-Buster Minivans have style. An unique and somewhat awkward style perhaps but style nonetheless. Something I'd take in this day age where cars looks like they come out of the same few cookie cutter molds.

Mitsubishi Diamante is a completely different car from Hyundai Grandeur xg. The first and second-generation Grandeur is a model that only changed the logo and steering wheel position of the Mitsubishi Devoner, but the third-generation xg is a car developed by Hyundai. (However, the Sigma engine is based on the Mitsubishi Cyclone engine.)

My dad had the exact same Cadillac. I called it his Land Yacht. He didn’t park it, he tied it to the dock.

0:50 my best friend had one of these for a few years, sold here in the US as an Azera. It was his dad's old car, until his younger sister backed a CRV into it. It had an obscene amount of miles on it, and, being from the midwest, a massive amount of rust. He eventually sent it to the great Hyundai farm in the sky after the rear suspension mounting points stopped being, well, attached to the rear suspension. Good car, I borrowed it a couple times, and it drove quite comfortably.

Okay, the PT Cruiser is ridiculous, but ya gotta respect the insane amount of fab hours someone has put into that build...I do really like the steering wheel though, it looks fantastic...

Your channel is a peace of gold on RU-vid!

Chrysler ran a customization program for PT Cruisers back in the day and you could by these retro accessories from the factory. You could actually ORDER one from Chrysler - fins included.

The metallic green Mitsubishi "Diamante" was actually built in Australia for export to the US. In Australia there were two versions... the middle of the line "Magna" and the top of the line "Verada." The Aussie Mitsubishi engineers chose the Verada to be the Diamante and refined the left hand steering system as the Magna was always designed to be a right hand steering car.

The Dust Buster looks awesome, you tripping my dude

Can you do a review or deep dive into the Copen, it's such a cute and fun car. A full review of it would be so cool

2:17 I died with that Multipla and Dustbuster right there.

We rented a pontiac transport which is the cousin of the silhouette and it was groovy back in the day for a florida trip

Just drove to Alkmaar, waiting for a friend, sitting in my rare W202, watching your video. Eating cookies and drinking gingee beer. Life is good. ❤❤🚗🇳🇱

The silhouette was awesome

The Silhouette was a great minivan. Drove beautifully with great visibility. The interiors were luxurious and roomy with leather and wood…Watch the movie Get Shorty to get the vibe…

So much work put into that PT Cruiser. Gotta love the passion.

First time I have viewed one of Ed's videos, great , love the sense of humour.

You can put a ton of lipstick on a pig like that PT Cruiser, but it won't change the fact that it's a crawling, odorous dumpster fire of a car. I'm usually all about remembering history, but I think that's a chapter that's better forgotten. Love ya, Ed! -Vic

Love your commentary on some truly ugly vehicles. Great job as always and thank you for the work you put in producing these fantastic videos.

Wow, I'd love to go to a show like that!! Am I the only one who likes the GM dustbusters? Not saying I want one, but I don't think they´re ugly. :)

The Silhouette looks nice!

Okay, you know what? That PT Cruiser is actually really nice. As for the Oldsmobile Silhouette, "It's the Cadillac of minivans!" - Chili Palmer - "Get Shorty"

I've seen your earlier episodes. Your anger at your new footage after the fact made lol! Keep it up Ed, I will keep watching and thumb upping!

You still see those dustbusters running around in the US though they're starting to get scarce. I remember probably 15 years ago seeing one that had rolled over in a crash and was resting on it's hood/windshield instead of it's roof.

5:24 David Ogle also created the Reliant Robin.

that Ogle is an extremely rare Mini kit car. That's right Mr Ed, I told you.

I have a soft spot for the GM Dustbuster vans (or maybe that's an abscess I should get checked); my mom had one when I was in college and I'd drive it now and then. They're decent to drive in the snow and all of the rear seats are individually removable, which is pretty neat. I couldn't tell you the last time I saw one in person - here in upstate NY, anything that old that isn't a babied garage queen has long ago rusted away (yes, I'm aware of the dustbusters having plastic body panels, but they were all screwed onto regular steel) ....and that meter of dashboard under the windshield makes servicing the rear half of the V6 a nightmare.

for real, this guy did a good job making this pt cruiser looking older, shouldve come out of the factory this way

Love that Bond in the opening pan shot!! They are so rare here in America

Wow Ed... Your "350" is actually pretty common here in Georgia USA. Love that boss 302! I have seen others compare the early Celica with the boss but other than the taillight treatment I don't really see it. You really should have saved the barfing sound for the PT Cruiser which is absolutely hideous. Whomever spent the cash to do that to a turd ( which you cannot polish btw) needs to be put in a hospital somewhere. All that work and it still has manual windows! It needs more "Limited" and "special edition" badges I think.

The Silhouette looks infinitely better than the Multipla, come on! Plus, remember: it's the Cadillac of minivans! xD

Ed, you look like a natural in that big Caddy. It's YOU !

I spotted a later Ford Scorpio in the background. Beautiful!

So glad you got to experience some of the Classics first hand, even if the timing was off.

Oh my god those Silhouettes were EVERYWHERE in the states during the 90s and early 00s.

That Hyundai at the start looks part Saab, part Lexus LS.

I had a Silhouette from 1993 to 2001. I still regret selling it, it was the best, quietest, smoothest and handiest minivan I've owned (4 total, during our "kid raising days"). The blunt-nose redesign is what killed it for me. It went from a 5 star front end collision rating to a 2 star, and killed the milage as well. Make as much fun of it as you want, it was the best design ever.

@5:47 I can't believe how clean that pt cruiser is

Funny enough, I actually like the PT Cruiser done up that way. If Chrysler had made about 100 of those off the line, I think those would be well remembered.

Ive seen a Sihlouette in my own town. I have a weird form of respect because its a 90's van, but it doesnt seem to be going anywhere, cause I seen it having a flat tire

2:22 That Oldsmobile Silhouette is awesome, I’ve always wanted one but not in those colors 6:46 I did not expect The custom rear suicide doors on the PT Cruiser

that pt cruiser is genuinely one of the coolest cars ive ever seen

That PT cruiser damaged my retinas.. Thanks a lot Ed.

weird and obscure cars.... totally worth a sub!

(1:31) That brings back memories for me! My mum used to have a Mitsubishi Magna, albeit a slightly newer one (2003 model year) and in Australia, where it was called the Magna rather than the Diamante. However, the one she had was one she bought used and was a lower trim level that didn't have stuff like the sunroof, front passenger airbag, and sat-nav.

Two questions related to the Cruiser. 1: Did it have an umbrella in the drivers door? 2: Were the windows crank or electric? In any case, another excellent video

That PT Cruiser is the most highly polished turd that I have ever seen.

Toyota Will Vi was also the first car to use the online retail channel. Yes, you can order one of that JDM 2CV online by using your Windows 98 IE explorer 😂

That Ogle 1000 looked amazing.

Oh gosh that vomit sound made me laugh uncontrolably for five minutes. The Muffin Top and the Dust Buster seem to be universally considered an affront to the eyes, every bit as much as the elongated toilet seat of the Edsel.

Oh my! That over done PT Cruiser made my day. 😃

I'd actually like one of those dustbuster vans, mostly so I can customize it to look like a Star Trek space shuttle. :D

best car meet ever

Somehow the taillights and whitewalls look good on the "limited" pt cruiser

I'm up to the um. .pt cruiser and nausea is setting in.

0:15 rode Zastava was ooit van mij leuk om die terug te zien ❤️

How rare and unusual! Thank you,

My first car was in 1967 ; a Goggomobile Station Wagon, powered by a BMW 600cc motorbike engine. Not sure what year it was, but I guess about a 1958. Beat that !!

Amazing episode once again. But dang I should have brought my '61 Plymouth over😂

More of this footage please Sir.

3:29 my internet service has that car, it's really weird but also quite eye catching

At 4:19, I almost thought that it was James May getting out of that ... whatever that was. At 6:02, as if the PT Cruiser wasn't ugly enough. Though the craftsmanship is admirable.

I find it interesting how the average Subaru Outback is quite rare over in Europe. To be fair although Subaru has never really aimed to sell many cars in Europe as far as I'm aware. Subaru's are meanwhile reasonably popular cars in Australia and dam they are fun for paddock bashing, so much grip on the dirt! And I love the optimistic roar of the EJ253 in my sisters Forester as it puts out roughly 100kw of power.

mom, where's my suit and tie. It's EAR day

That Deville could been more obscure if it was a Fleetwod. The modelname Fleetwood ( with other body and shape and chassi) disapperad in 1996 officialy but a coachmaker made a Deville/Fleetwood in 97-99 which only produced under 1000 cars during those years.

I should be concerned that even though I live in Canada, I actually recognized a few of those cars, and even liked a few as well.

OMG Ed, how fucking hilarious and crazy that while at a car show you end up filming extensively some Grandma and Grandpa parking their Oldsmobile Silhouette just trying to park to see the car show. Hahahaha!!!

Love your videos, big fan from the states!

It's funny. I know the Netherlands as being the country that look looks at American car culture and with a condescending sneer mutters the word "Opafiets", before going back to their breakfast of coffee and cigarettes. But this surprised me. Maybe there's hope for you guys yet.

I bet that if the PT Cruiser trim shown here was the base model, I'm really sure it would have sold like hotcakes cause wow it's got class

I have a feeling this guy could do a really good Kermit impression

I liked the PT cruiser
