Hello Oppo! Here are some of the weirdest/most interesting cars you can see at the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, TN. I can’t count how many times I’ve been there, but this was my third time to take the basement tour (worth it). Since they get new cars pretty frequently, it’s a new adventure every time. Anyway, here goes.

Weird Chinese van with Lada Niva eyebrows

Alpine (hngggghhhh) and Corvair Wagon (hngghghhhh)

AMC Eagle

Delta HF Integrale

1997 Fiat Cinquecento Rally Car

Citroën BX4TC (so much want)

The obligatory Multipla

Citroën (racking my brain trying to remember which one it is) EDIT: it’s a CX, props to Jack does Cars

mG Metro 6R4

Clean Alfa

LANCIA BETA WOWOWOWOW

4x4 2CV

Fiat-Bertone X1/9

And my dad’s Cadenza parked far away from but still dwarfed by the LARC-LX

Hope y’all enjoyed these and seriously consider making a visit to the museum.

EDIT: I missed a lot. Have these as well.

The dude who gives the tour talks about the time when he took his wife to dinner in it and got the “authentic Lancia owner’s experience”- that is getting back in it after dinner and it doesn't start.

Nononononono not a Lada van but it has the indicator “eyebrows” like the Lada Niva. It's made in China. Sorry for the confusion.

This isn’t just a Beta; this is the two-seat, mid-engined Monte Carlo.

Almost every car I’ve looked at to get as my 2nd car here in Europe. I’m not joking.

If I can find an Alpine A310 for €5,000 I’m on it.

Take better pictures than I did lol! And have fun. Also, Nashville C&C meets on Saturdays from 8-12 but you'll need to google the location cause I don't know where exactly it is.

I understand what you’re saying. But I am still confused by this things existence haha.

I think Beta is the platform. Betas are FWD IIRC. But the Monte Carlo was MR. Was it a 2 seat?

He took it to Cars & Coffee once and it parked next to my Alfa Milano. Two 1980’s Italian sedans side-by-side! I wanted it so badly.

They were mostly sold as the Scorpion in the US, but I believe for the first two years it was the Beta Montecarlo and had the same engine (and perhaps other components) as the FWD ‘regular’ Beta.
