Some might think of this ugly duckling as cute, but in terms of concept cars, this is as bad as it gets. Even its name is questionable. Naming a car “Book of Songs” is like naming your firstborn “Velcro”. This concept is a petite electric car with a small electric motor in the front and no trunk. Needless to say, its appearance is, well, awful. Our analogy earlier was a little too accurate – this car really does look like a cartoon duck.

Back in 1989, America was happily in a minivan frenzy. Nearly all domestic and Asian import automakers had at least one model of minivans in their line-up. Naturally, Chrysler was the king since they’d invented it in the first place. They also tried squeezing out as many model types as possible since it was so in demand then. So, the designer at Chrysler decided to create a three-seat mini car for rides around town that could be hitched onto a larger, self-powered unit that carried an extra five passengers. However, the design was about as appealing as an airport car rental bus. After this happened, no one else tried doing anything similar, and for good reason.
