As mentioned, that Caddy is the Sbarro Tag Function car. And a few were actually built.

This Tucker was built as a tribute, by a guy whose last name happened to be Tucker...no relation to the "other" one.

You have just insulted all '60s Rivieras everywhere. This one is a 70s-something! 

(I'm surprised the builder forgot the G. Barris Fake Pimp Side Exhausts, which would have really MADE the backbirth!) :lol:

Oh no I really like the Rivera.Yea I think it’s a 71-74,or somewhere in between.But why do people do this to their cars?They have the right to make their car whatever they want, but come on....This is too odd for my taste.But again,nice body work.

The paisley roadster comes from a 1973 issue of Hot Rod, while I've apparently had the little slip of paper with the steam car ad since the '90s but can't recall where I got it.  I've been unable to find any info on the car, if any were built.

It's a waste of a good '71 Riv is what it is. ?

My dad's father bought this '57 Handyman brand new, traded it for a '72 "Chevy" LUV before he died, which is what I inherited.  So seeing any wagon no matter what is done to it, makes me smile.  I dig that old British car with the blown engine.

Facebook ad for a handyman had this Ca...an.

Idk what it is, and I know its as ugly as sin,but there’s something I like about this little mini van/PU.I mean I wouldn’t be caught dead driving it,but it just shows you what you can do with a whole lot of duct tape....??

I guess that not everything here is exactly a car, I guess I feel safe to share a backyard project of mine... And yes it's a snowblower welded to a mini bike, with a bicycle wheel mounted on the front. Maybe one day it could pass safety...
