10 Cars So Weird They're Wonderful

8. Nissan Be-1

Price: $3,00–$7,000* Produced in 1987–1988 When the Nissan Be-1 was first unveiled in 1987, it had a retro-inspired style instead of the slick, contemporary aesthetics that were common at the time. It stands out from other cars on the road thanks to its endearing, almost toy-like appearance, which is a result of its rounded profile, happy front grille, and generally small size.

It was a reasonable option for city people because it provided a comfortable ride and decent fuel economy. But because of its unusual design and low production volume, it wasn't to everyone's liking, making it something of a rarity. The Nissan Be-1, which dares to celebrate the unusual and resist trends in automobile design, is now regarded as a unique and nostalgic period in Japanese automotive history.
