I’ve written a few posts about cars - the cool, fast, slick, stylish, etc. - but this one takes the cake. A banana car! It looks silly but it’s real, and street-legal as well. And there’s plan to bring it on a world tour!
The Oscar Meyer Weinermobile is so popular that it’s got its own fan club, but where’s the love for the other bizarre food-shaped vehicles? A brother/brother duo transformed parts of an old pickup truck into a fantastically ridiculous car called, quite appropriately, the Big Banana Car.
According to Steve Braithwaite, the builder of the fruity yellow behemoth, inspiration for the car came from a fruit bowl in a gas station. With a little help from some co-conspirators, Steve and his brother transformed an old 1993 Ford F-150 into a rolling four-seat banana.
Braithwaite & Co. plan to drive the Big Banana Car all around the world, although they haven’t yet settled on a starting point for the journey. One thing is for sure: wherever it goes, the Big Banana Car is sure to draw amused stares.
