One of the more unusual autos I've seen is this 1935 Bugatti Aerolithe, constructed out of Elektron, a magnesium and aluminum alloy. This Bugatti was put together using rivets as the metal alloy is flammable when using standard welding processes.
Attached are three images. No, those are not scratches on the fender. Those are reflections from museum lights.

I should have added that the windows do not open and there is no air conditioning. Not all that practical.

Not the best alloy for a car, but works well in incendiary bombs and such.

Bugatti had some very unique designs and this is a very good looking car. In spite of how practical it was.

Beautiful car. A few years ago I went to a show in Nashville that featured several cars like this. It showed Delahayes and Bugattis and Talbot-Lagos among others. They are all absolutely beautiful. I saw them more as rolling sculptures--probably completely impractical to own or drive but great to look at. In some cases only a few were ever built. There is a book from the show called "Sensuous Steel Art Deco Automobiles". Some of them have an interesting history.

Beautiful from a design viewpoint I suppose, but I bet the visibility from that driver’s seat was terrible!
