I've been fascinated with this thing since receiving this very bad book as a graduation present. The cars listed aren't so much "lemons" as they are "cars that are weird or ugly." Some of them are fascinating. Some of them got a seriously bad rap. And a lot of them are downright innovative - the book lists Amphicars among its lemons and c'mon - nobody is buying one of those thinking it's gonna kick ass out of the lake.
And one of them is the Mohs SafariKar.
International Harvester engine, naugahyde exterior, 120" wheelbase... and for 25 years all I've had is one black'n'white picture of three of them being assembled. Virtually no mention of it anywhere. But what can I say. It stuck with me.
rd95 and I were having an off-site discussion of "ugliest cars" (his vote: Subaru B9 Tribeca, which clearly underestimates the true horror of the Pontiac Aztek) and I was reminded once again of the Mohs Safarikar. Which, now that the Internet exists, can actually be viewed.
Turns out there were three. Now there are two. That's probably one, and possibly two, too many.
Kinda funny, considering all the safety "features", that the same dude created this. Granted, he was sixteen at the time. Gotta give the man props...
