1954 Plymouth Belmont Showcar
1961 Plymouth Asymmetrica Showcar
 
This was photographed at Barrett-Jackson in 1999 but this Belmont, a one-of-a-kind Showcar, has made several appearances at the auction. This is a 6-cylinder with Briggs styling and something to note - no roll-up windows.
Designed by Virgil Exner, this Plymouth one-off (like the XNR) is very unique and little known about it. The Blackhawk Collection had this on display at The Auction in Las Vegas 1991. I spotted it next to a rare black Lamborghini Miura SV.

Monteverdis are very rare to see at auctions and car shows. The sedan versions are even more rare. This Sierra is one of five known in existence. The Sierra was based oddly enough - on the Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare.
I was fortunate enough to be able to closely see this car at the 1996 Kruse Auction in Minneapolis. The Swiss-built sedan is powered by a 5.9 litre V8 engine.

1985 Merkur XR4ti
1982 Lancia Zagato
 
Perhaps the best example of a highly modified XR4ti that I've seen. Having owned a Rapido Merkur XR4ti I can appreciate the amount of work spent on this obscure model in the USA. This one was at Oseola Wisconsin at the annual Classic Motorbooks Car Show a few years ago.
I enjoy coming across rare cars on the street like this Lancia Zagato Limited Edition model back in 1991 in St. Paul Minnesota. This is one of only 500 imported to the USA.

1995 Plymouth Breeze Prototype
 
A timeless classic in my opinion. With only 1,325 built in 1956 - this model photographed in St. Cloud Minnesota in 1991 at the annual Car Show
The prototype to the production version of the Breeze. This prototype concept had a power-operated retractable roof. This was photographed at the Minneapolis 1995 Auto Show.
