1957 Franken-RenaSubie

By Mike Musto

AKA Mr. Angry

Ya’ll remember that song "Things that make you go hmm…" Well, this ‘57 Renault on eBay is one of those things. My first question is why, as is my second, third and fourth. Now I am really into the oddball stuff, but this one is just a little too out there for me. Please understand that I am not criticizing this vehicle as much as I am pondering its existence. People build different things for different reasons, and most of the time they have a specific purpose. The Saturn 5 rocket for instance was built to propel a human from the Earth to the Moon. The elevator was designed to move people up and down so we wouldn’t have to take the stairs, but this thing, well, I’m not so sure. It just seems like a lot of wasted time and effort to me. Still, it’s kinda cool to look at. Three more pics after the jump.

It looks like a beetle on steroids. It’s a bit rough, but as any project car is in the works. I bet it’d be a neat looking car when finished. I see potential….

That’s an ACTUAL production car? Yikes. It looks like the bastard child of a 50’s Beetle and a 39′ Lincoln Zephyr. Otherwise known as, Hideous. But hey.. to each their own, right?

The worst thing of all is that it isn’t completed. Hey, if you’re gonna have an idea you’re gonna act on, even if it’s insane… might as well finish the job.

I like it.

It would be fun to finish it, and take it to cruise in’s and car shows.

I bet she’d be pretty fast
