Here are some of the unusual cars I got photos of this summer.
Hot Dog! It's the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile. I did a blog post on this earlier in the year.
At another car show, this one put on by NM3, I got some pictures of a Soviet LADA Car. It represented the pinnacle of fine Communist-era craftsmanship, luxury, and quality.
And at the Buckley Old Engine Show, a Bevery Hillbillies are showed up. This car is in the show every year.
I thought of adding music videos for Gary Numan's "In Cars", or something from Ric Ocasek's band "The Cars", but I see that Laura B has already touched on that. That's fine, since I'm not a fan of "The Cars" band, anyway.
So here is a video clip of Toonces, the cat who can drive a car:

Maybe the LADA will soon be the WH limousine, huh? :-)
And, of course, I'll be thinking of that Oscar Meyer wiener song the rest of the day. Thanks, Dmarks :-)
Happy Thanksgiving. I'm sorry I haven't been around...mr Z's passing has knocked me for a real loop. I am feeling good blogging, but the visiting's felt stressful for some reason.
I wish you the very best.
I love the beverly hillbillies one. And gotta watch that video... I'm glad my cat can't drive...
So sorry to hear that happened. Z. My sympathies are with you, for sure.
No: I'm not sure sure even Toonces can drive.
Great cars post! I have always had a fondness for the weinermobile :-) And Toonces!!! I forgot about him! Thanks, dmarks.
Who is tagged?
I saw the Beverly Hillbillies truck in St Ignace this fall. The sign on the front bumper above the metal tractor seat says "Mother-in-law Seat".
Ha! I love the Oscar Mayer Weenie Wagon!
The LADA! Now there's a hoot... looks an awful like an old Fiat with a funny paint job.
I remember Toonces! We named a cat after Toonces but it was shortened to Toonie eventually. Great mouser! Couldn't drive worth a hoot thought.
I'll be humming both the Oscar Meyer song AND the Beverly Hillbillies song after this post.
Z: about the LADA as WG limousine, the Obamas would need a whole fleet of them... at least 71.
Cube: 71? Try 57. One for each state.
So did the LADA originally come with a rollcage? Are the drivers there really that bad? lol
Looks a little like some of the "art cars" I've seen in Houston.
I remember that post you did on the Weiner car. lol
Those are some cool cars. I do like the band The Cars, but isn't it awkward to write, "the band The Cars"?
I LOVE Toonces!
