Is that a 59 Belair tail fin on the lower left?

Yes sir, there’s three or four of them, along with at least two more El Camino versions.
There’s at least a dozen tri-fives out there also & way too many other oddities too.
Like this VW industrial engine…
Or this International

RZ500?
A friend had one of these along with a Suzuki RGV500, TZ250, a few Kaw Triples and other 2 stroke bikes. |
Yes Sir. Natch, I heard it before I saw it. I was ready to drool 
We don't/didn't get RD500s or Gammas in the US. Your friend is very fortunate to have them.

I love this thread as I'm drawn to unusual vehicles. Even if they are not designed well. 
Has anyone seen this Toyota Will vi in person? Seen on cover of this YouTube and at 3:34.

There is an Alpine dealer near my home, it's a really nice car. Still too expensive for me, unfortunately.

The builder really screwed up with this one. Missing the opportunity to spell Cosmic Cruiser with a "K" would have set it a step above the rest. Now it just rolls around in shame.
A stunning, monumental failure.
Other than that, it is a thing of beauty.

It is a factory IH built camper. They only built it for a year, did not sell well due to build issues and poor departure angle. |
