Somewhere on my computer is a picture of a minivan that was "stretched" by fusing a front, middle, and rear section of different vans.

This is a regular production car, not a show car or prototype.

I always consider those cars that look like toasters on wheels to be pretty bizarre.

How about the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile? I see it around Chicago about 4 or 5 times a year.

I knew a neighbor who had a '61 Fury Station Wagon years ago.

If you want bizarre, just check out some of the trailer configurations I've seen over the past decade or so. Lots of 5th Wheel trailers with smaller trailers behind them or occasionally other cars on tow bars or dolleys as dinghies, but on my last road trip up north, I actually saw somebody driving a Freightliner tow vehicle towing a 5th Wheel trailer, which itself was towing a first generation Volkswagen bus on a tow bar. I tried to snap a picture of it as I stopped at the South Carolina Welcome Center on I-95, but the damn camera battery died on me!

Unfortunately I don't have a pic, but a guy I knew for a time had one, the back 1/2 was a Ford Expedition, the front 1/2 was the Mercedes that had the oval headlights with the yellow "eyelid" (sorry I don't know my Benz models).... a very trippy vehicle to say the least.

On Craigslist once, I saw an ad for a 5th generation Honda Prelude that had a rear end from an R33 Nissan Skyline...a "Skylude" if you will. It actually looked really good, but the ad didn't last long.

Oscar Mayer has six of them that tour the USA, all registered here in Wisconsin (Oscar Mayer is HQed in Madison, WI).  It is one of the most familiar advertising icons of the mid-20th century and later and competition among university-level marketing students to staff them is fierce.
