Some Of History's Most Unique and Unusual Cars and Trucks

The World Famous Egg

This vehicle was once called the strangest car in the world, and the name fits pretty well. L'Oeuf Electrique, or The Electric Egg in English, was an electric concept car created by world-renowned designer Paul Arzens in the 1940s. Arzens was an automotive and locomotive designer, and even occasionally did airplanes. But, he's probably most well known for his work on the Electric Egg, or his other concept car The Whale.

The aviation project Arzens was involved with saw him taking a decommissioned military Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, and turning it into luxury travel accommodations for general Eisenhower and his friends.
