The 1969 Pontiac Farago CF 428. A very wild looking concept for GM unless you consider it was commissioned by John DeLorean, designed by Paul Farago and built by Coggiola (Saab Sonnet III, Volvo 262C). And then, squinting just a little it all makes sense. Built on a Pontiac Grand Prix chassis powered by a 428 cubic inch V8 engine it was a wild take on an American GT car.

The 1977 "Star Wars Space Fantasy" Toyota Celica GT was a one-off, specially customized car created as a sweepstakes prize. It featured unique Star Wars graphics, including X-wing and TIE fighter scenes. The car was awarded in 1978 and has been missing for decades, making it a legendary lost piece of memorabilia.
First one to show up at a Concours d'Lemons with a re-creation wins a special trophy.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭: Concours d’Lemons South Bend
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧: July 10, 2026 12pm(noon) -5pm
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: Campus of the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum at 897 Thomas St., South Bend, IN 46601
The Concours d’Lemons, a tongue in cheek show celebrating the Un-Best of the automotive world, clatters into South Bend, Indiana on July 10, 2026 as part of the Concours d'Elegance at Copshaholm. Held on the grounds of the Museum Campus, participants will share their affection of their less than loved autos with spectators and capricious, bribery prone judges who award thrift store sources prizes in hilarious categories such as “Rust Belt American Junk”, “Most Dangerous”, and “Best Back Seat”. The whole debacle culminates in the presentation of the coveted “Worst of Show” trophy that sees the owner and hooptie showered in silly string.
“Ferraris and Duesenbergs are fine cars,” states Concours d’Lemons ‘Head Gasket’ Alan Galbraith, “but Pintos and Pacers need love too. We’ve found that owners of these cars are just as passionate about their rides and spectators love them even more. It is all about how much fun you can have and share with others and not how much you spent.”
The Concours d’Lemons is free for spectators while admission is charged to the Museums. There is a small fee to register your hooptie for the show and registered Concours d’Lemons exhibitors will get Friday-Saturday passes that includes the Museum Campus, Automotive History Live: An Automotive Forum and Saturday Concours.
