The 1947 Davis D-2 Divan Never Got Off The Ground
Only in Hollywood could a car company dream up something as peculiar as the Davis D-2 Divan. This unusual, supposedly futuristic vehicle was the brainchild of the Davis Motor Company, based in Southern California. Fortunately—or perhaps mercifully—it never made it to market. The company’s owner, infamous for his shady business practices, grossly overestimated the demand for the car. Frustrated investors, tired of waiting for returns that never materialized, eventually pulled out, sinking both the D-2 Divan and the company itself.

No One Knew Which Way The Zundapp Janus Was Facing
The 1958 Zundapp Janus is undoubtedly one of the quirkiest cars ever made, earning a unique spot in automotive history—and in our oddly nostalgic hearts. Its design is nothing short of eccentric; with both the front and rear doors open, it’s nearly impossible to tell which end is which, adding to its undeniable charm. Created by a motorcycle company stepping into the car market, the Janus was built to make a bold impression. To stand out, its designers placed doors on both the front and back, a feature as puzzling as it is fascinating. Adding to its unconventional appeal, the car’s top speed maxed out at just 50 miles per hour—a leisurely pace perfectly suited for those who enjoy taking life in the slow lane.
