Well, here's a weird entry for today.
I remember a cartoon I watched as a kid called "Wacky Races". With a ton of strange cars that raced. One of the cars was the "Compact Pussycat" driven by the lone woman entrant, Penelope Pitstop.
The cars were very odd looking (as you can see by Penelope's car) and I often wondered as a kid if anyone could actually make cars that looked like the ones in the cartoon.
I just found this.
