2. Velorex Oscar
Produced in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s, the Velorex Oskar was one of the strangest cars available behind the Iron Curtain. Because it was built by a motorcycle company, it was more like a three-wheeled bike than a proper car.
It was powered by a 300 cc motorcycle engine that produced six HP. However, since the car was extremely light, the tiny motor even produced some performance, as well. Interestingly, the Velorex didn’t have body panels. Instead, it had a canvas cover that stretched over the frame rails.
