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

[TalenGryphon]

I love the bit where Ed channels Mr. Regular by yelling "Do a burnout!" at some Camels. Or getting the old Toyotas *Intentionally* wrong 😆

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 YouTube videos now & you will find virtually nothing on this subject whilst Google yields only little bits of information scattered in wider articles.

The "dust buster" look may have been a bit radical but you have to admit, it's streamlined. I had a Trans Port, the Pontiac version. It had a very responsive 3 liter six that could get ~30mpg on the highway, 4-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension. All the passenger seats were removeable making it extremely adaptable for people and cargo. The wedge shape turned out to be a big positive when I hit a deer at 70mph and instead of coming through the windshield it was flung up and behind the car. I watched it hit the road in the rear view mirror. Still did almost $4k in damage!

had me dying laughing at the goldfish fade in 😂😂

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

The Hyundai Grandeur is called Hyundai Azera or Azzera here in Brazil. Considering it was about the only car with a V6 being sold around here, no surprise its fairy common, specially being considered a "luxury" car.

[RichieRouge]

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?

[julien.le.createur]

I love how you take your time filming all the tiny details of a car. Really appreciate this and makes me appreciate even a PT cruiser a lot! Haha

[kellingtonlink]

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.

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.

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

[TheGarnetNugget]

I was at this event with my Subaru Justy! An absolute blast to see so many oddball cars and fans of stuff that's just a little out there. You made a great overview of the highlights and I loved the humor!

[danielversion.]

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...

[morganlewis]

Ed's delivery perfectly matches the weirdness of some of these cars and is actually weirder than some of the others.

[areaisreal]

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

[brooksrownd]

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.

[gsmolinari]

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

[desertsunman]

Duuude! The PT Interior was outraaageous! Thx for the Vids!
