Good on ya...! Nice work... totally subjective.

[@jimburig7064]

That would make it a 5 liter engine (61 X 5 = 305 cubic inches.)

[@mindseyedesign]

@@jimburig7064 Good point..you're hired!

[@jimburig7064]

Great! When do I start?

[@markdodd1152]

These are all very cool I was glad to see the Olds Toronado / Vista Cruiser. I wouldn't mind owning one of those

[@terranceowens272]

That oldsmobile toronado limo, that 1955 Ford bubble top, and BMW Columbus, were my favorites.

[@YeeSoest]

You gotta love the Columbus design having exactly ZERO similarities to any other BMWs^^ No double kidney grill, no side lines or edges, nothing. Just a sailboat for the road. Amazing

[@spencerthu2956]

It's a reminder that there was some car designs in the late 90s that were very ahead their time.

[@danki2000daniel]

BMW Columbus looked practical. They should make it

[@timsmith854]

Um, it wasn't a BMW, just used a BMW engine. It is actually an Italian concept car.

[@e.rivera4251]

The engine was in the middle of it. Rear wheel drive. IT could make a high end passenger uber/lift transport

[@matsv201]

I liked it to. Much nicer than modern people carriers.

[@magapiff1]

it does look like it would be very popular with uber drivers

[@CircuitReborn]

@@e.rivera4251 it would make a good Uber...but replace the things like VHS with modern amenities. Actually with today's tech you could probally make it far better.

[@amenhotepavoskin1307]

I hate to say this, but the Columbus is the nest in this bunch.

[@lorrieaustin4997]

All the vehicles are wicked. My favorite is the helicopter

[@davegoldspink5354]

There’s several on here that I’d love any day with the Columbus and Sea Ranger being my top ones. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Great job.

[@trippydrew8492]

The BMW Columbus would make an awesome campervan!!

[@d.romero3014]

The BMW Columbus is a "crazy" car I would gladly buy.

[@MJ-zo5gb]

DriverOp Oremor I like it too and I don’t know why...

[@Ninjahall-12R]

Me too...

[@k.r.baylor8825]

It wasn't made by BMW, but had its V-12 powering it. The Italdesign Columbus could be one of those vehicles that the "Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015" allows 325 cars a year or less to be made by small manufacturers. Here's a page about the Columbus: www.motor1.com/photo/3664865/1992-italdesign-columbus/

[@NikoKourouklis]

It’s an ItalDesign Columbus

[@soulesslemming]

I'll take the sea ranger. An amphibious unimog, hell yes.

[@juanurbizo8245]

To me The Columbus is the best 👌😍❤

[@rollingsteady3107]

The BMW Columbus is deffinately a vehicle to have! I can sit by my self while I transport my family! Room for everyone!

[@kellingtonlink956]

One of the Best lists of original cars that I have ever seen. Very well thought out list. And I have seen many. Excellent job. Thanks.

[@siavelis5513]

The volani sea ranger is my favourite because it looks like an military vehicle

[@chrismarquez9659]

I like the Gurgel look pretty straight forward on your small car needs

[@webpa]

Number 13 (Optica): This was definitely NOT quieter than normal airplanes its size. A sample was at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in ~1980 for evaluation. The airplane made the loudest, most annoying whining noise I've ever heard. Visibility may have been great, but you could hear it 10 miles.

[@bobatwater5912]

I like the BMW Columbus.

[@matthewschuchardt684]

Definitely the BMW Columbus, it’s a pity it never made it to production.

[@markthrasher6770]

Whoah... a Toronado limousine!!!

[@Branfaol1]

I love both Columbus and sea-ranget

[@80spyder1]

Columbus could make a sweet tiny camper

[@brokenbackunlimited2187]

The tornado limousine most definitely my favorite.

[@TheOriginalLikeButton]

Okay, I understand that that Columbus car looks weird from the outside, but it looks as spacious and comfortable on the inside as the starship Enterprise. I want it! I want it now! 😭

[@mindseyedesign]

As much as I've seen this vehicle get positive comments by far the most of all 300 videos on this channel, I cant believe it never made it to production. Such a shame.

[@TheOriginalLikeButton]

@@mindseyedesign Perhaps the production would've been too costly for the time... Who knows, maybe some day they'll turn up with something similar.

[@oldb-1kenobi]

You have to wonder if the very first auto profiled in this video didn't inspire the animated movie "Cars", because it looks like it came right out of it!

[@ccrcdr4983]

I would buy the Toronodo in a heartbeat

[@AdmiralBison]

1. Looks like something you would see in Futurama.

[@greenbottle7816]

BMW Columbus. Very nice

[@andreas1536]

I would love to drive the columbus, it is not a beauty, but definitely looks like it woul make an awesome van.

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

I'll bet that Bubble top is a hot as hell place to sit on a clear sunny day.

[@beverlylange4514]

THIS IS A MUST WATCH VIDEO.! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THESE VEHICLES AND I HAVE BEEN AROUND AWHILE!! LOL

[@edm1207]

That columbus would still be a show stopper today

[@wojciechzgodowski]

#4 could be brought back as electric,. Families would love it. Much room, comfy, nice interior, kids and families would love it. Famly weekend van or for camping. 🤗

[@markthrasher6770]

The Optica arson attack story is pretty crazy. Y'all in the experimental tech world are brutal....😁

[@oscarvalencia948]

I like the Columbus van by BMW.

[@edsonjose6801]

Gurgel foi a maior manifestação da criatividade brasileira para construção de carros em sua época,esse carro estava a frente de seu tempo.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@mike_br4983]

Pão com ovo

[@turbopumped6490]

I really like the columbus.

[@matsv201]

Yea... if i would choice between that han and a people carrier... it would not even be a choice.

[@donut5818]

I did not expect to see one of the best kerbal crackpots in a video about cars but this surprise is welcome nonetheless.

[@JoseRodriguez-kz1yl]

Love that BMW futuristic design

[@lutfi5285]

awesome 👍

[@davidgriffith6742]

I liked the little blue one person vehicle. The ideal of bringing it in the house appeals to me.

[@egyptwns89_26]

The Columbus and the Toronado are the look the best.

[@tarozama2666]

I would buy the Columbus. They should try to bring it back.

[@elti-buron1462]

5:21 when u see it, u can't unsee it.

[@eddietucker3334]

That BMW was freakin brilliant. Please put them on the market.

[@Alby_Torino]

Thet wasn't a BMW at all. It only had a BMW engine, but it was a Italdesign concept car.

[@isaacmadhavan]

@Al Morrison --> Different strokes for different folks!

[@jamesrodolee03]

My favorites were #2 and the 20 foot long BMW

[@stagboiwo5517]

БИГА очень правильный концепт ! Вот куда должен был двигаться дизайн городского авто. Автомобиль в городе это средство ПЕРЕДВИЖЕНИЯ, а не самовыражения. Но человеки хочет понтов, и автопроизводители потакают им...

[@JPA78]

I see Gurgel, I upvote. Go and make a video about the man behind the Gurgel cars. Thank me later.

[@TheTruthKiwi]

Finally a video with actual unique and interesting cars. Well done. Also, I'm pretty sure if BMW sold that van now it'd actually be pretty popular.

[@petejennings9715]

1:11 puts a whole new meaning to owning a land yacht

[@matthewmedina9607]

The BMW Columbus was awesome! Jet Black Paint, nicer rims, limo-tint, updated electronics and a stripper pole. That would be a badass daily driver 😆👍🏻

[@crustyrustymayo4716]

but why the stripper pole, U tryna make a mobile strip club or what ?

[@isaacmadhavan]

I really liked the Columbus!

[@macbuff81]

the best part is right at the end. What a beauty :)

[@chucktaylor4384]

I want that sea ranger, reckon if I offer my first born it'd tickle their fancy?? lol. But that seriously is one awesome ride

[@karenvickers8165]

Nice video!!

[@RetroGamingonestopshop]

Great job! love the channel!

[@ralphsalotto-ld5xe]

The best part is the pretty girl at the end.

[@ibrahimjalloh5300]

The 1992 BMW Is The Totally Dope Looks Way Better Than The Mercedes This Car Can Definitely Be Used For Uber And Lyft And Limousine Service Because That Van There is Huge

[@aestheticcruise8807]

I wouldn't mind owning that ultralight plane. The perfect ultralight photography aircraft

[@HenauderTitzauf]

Hey, no robot voice! Thank you! Thank you!

[@StephanieElizabethMann]

I like the 7/9 set BMW. With all the recreational vehicles getting around now, fitting it out with fridge, microwave, etc it would make a hit.

[@petzouqi76]

The Beatnik Bubbletop looks like a car you would find in the Fallout Game Series.

[@victorvance2573]

Indeed, and/or as a Hot Wheels car.

[@kerranz]

I really like the BMW Columbus...but I'd fit it out for traveling alone. You could live in that thing.

[@Cliffdog01]

Me too I wish that there were more RV/Coach/Van's with tapered jetfighter bubble where you drive.

[@sirlorddoctormajorphd3016]

Yes! I would’ve love a tiny house roaming RV type fitted Columbus, that’s a sexy looking machine.

[@RomainSandt]

I love it, been in it... And it's not a BMW, just has a BMW engine. It was made by ItalDesign.

[@sirlorddoctormajorphd3016]

Still want it anyway

[@bengrizzlyadams6187]

@@RomainSandt Ital Design is no joke, actually top, I was thinking exactly the same thing, it's a duplex flat, but more drivable than the average motor home, the v12 is awesome but maybe overkill..

[@stefanotazio]

Cool, a Brazilian Gurgel.

Wasnt the Sea Ranger in a 80s/90s futuristic film? Like Aliens or Total Recall (but it wasnt those two)?

[@rcfunletsrock]

Thank you

[@shauljonah6955]

I was going to say 5000 cc not 500cc.i googled it too. Strange van but I would like it.

Cassie at 12:07 has a very high cuteness factor. Cheers!

Nooo! Her makeup is an abomination.

[@robertwillis4061]

The Columbus { No4 } is the best lookin if produced it would be great as a limo

[@seaningram3285]

I Loved #13 :) Hope they build more of them again.

[@crusty21]

68 Oldsmobile Toronado 707 Limousine - Definitely something Elvis would have owned.

[@mlbbfanatic6333]

The Columbus Should Be Made

[@TheBamhulk]

awesome video guys!!! man #2 is beyond crazy it plain doesn't make sense !!

[@nealbradleigh5069]

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION! a great glimpse of 10 of the oddest, with hundreds more to be added in future videos. As time permits, I'll offer some suggestions!

[@laman8914]

The girl at the end was the most interesting, so she gets my thumps up.

[@jimdavis8804]

La Man my thoughts exactly. Lol

[@MrWirecase]

My thoughts exactly!

[@aquaticthumb5193]

I think she is a Alien in a rubber suit . Notice the monotone color of the skin and long neck.

[@LeoMoralesSr]

I second that emotion!

[@TheTruthKiwi]

The thirst of YT commenters is real

[@chrislangtiw6395]

I'd love to have an Italdesign Columbus and retrofit it to a class C RV.

[@Hogger280]

Musk would be proud of the Bubble Top. My favorite is the Oldsmobile Limo.

[@ta2joe13]

Id love to own the sea ranger, that thing is awesome.

[@alphasigmasezon8597]

Gurgel MotoMachine is the best

[@dutchbachelor]

Favorite retro car for me would be the Mercedes C111. That thing looked slick! And I would agree that the Columbus isn't half bad.

[@blacknuggetgacha7346]

C112! GAS GAS GAS!

[@Rafael47936]

Number 14 is so cool!

[@petemitchell4690]

#4, #3 and #1 are my favorite...the no1 "Bubble car" is an absolute work of art ! I could spend hours looking at it. And the BMW Columbus, wow, i would love to turn one of those into a Camper, at 20 feet long it's certainly has enough room for it ! The Sea Ranger looks straight of of 70's tv serie Space 1999 ! Thanks for putting this video together !

[@stevenchambers6174]

I liked the BMW Columbus

[@94chevyboy]

Love it!!

[@salimkumar9748]

Fun stuff. All very interesting.

[@donviitoriodasicachiavi5555]

Columbus and Colani amphibious car

[@whitedomerobert]

I love the lavender bubble top one off. Very creative. I would like to know more about its stats, comforts and amenities.

[@harshyt22]

BMW Columbus is amazing. It just needs to be an electric vehicle

[@betweenthepoles]

The Columbus would make an awesome camper. The Biga is a really innovative, practical idea. My niece just began working for a company that started out as a Kickstarter campaign. They make electric bikes for much the same use as the Biga. This car should be introduced in cities like Seattle that have a younger, more progressive population, and then rolled out to other locations. I think in today’s conservation climate it would be a success.

[@ekghostofficial]

No 1 best

[@miketee2444]

These vehicles almost prove a point that holds true with any invention. I'm sure everyone watching sees at least one that they like and think should've been successful. Anything you make has more to do with how you market it as anything. Timing and luck are imperative also. Many are too far ahead of their time and knowing human nature and our resistance to change is important

[@mindseyedesign]

Hello Mike Tee, thank you for watching!

[@jerrycallender9927]

I like the Columbus...That would be an awesome cruising/RV/camper...

[@VirtualHolocaust]

Those dsls in pink where my favorite.
