Mohs Ostentatienne Opera was built in 1967 by the Mohs Seaplane Corporation. The Ostentatienne is built on an International Harvester chassis and also uses its engine. It featured some weird safety features like solid steel rails on the side (that's why the car has to be entered from the back) and seats that tilt to the back in a crash.

Only one Ostatienne was ever build and it was restored in 2009 after sitting over 20 years in storage.

De Tomaso Mangusta Prototipo, 1966, by Ghia. The P70 may have been disastrous in terms of racing success but it did establish the principle of using a powerful American V8 in Italian bodywork. Thus Ghia, who had also worked on the P70, built the car Alejandro de Tomaso had wanted all along. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro it was first displayed on the Ghia stand (for whom Giugiaro was working at the time) at the Turin Motor Show. At last De Tomaso had a car he could sell and though it was criticised for tricky handling 401 were built before it was replaced by the Pantera in 1971

Buick Flamingo Show Car, 1961. One of Buick's entries in the final GM Motorama was a heavily accessorised Electra 225 Convertible. Non-standard items included pearlescent pink finish, a custom interior featuring two-tone upholstery in pink leather contrasted with cranberry brocade and a pivoting passenger seat, which could turn through 180º to face the rear passengers.
