Promotional cars you didn’t even know existed
You’ve most likely seen a car with the whole exterior
covered in company logos and colours – a promotional car. However, some
companies go a bit further than just sticking some vinyl graphics over a normal
car. We’ve got a list of the more whacky cars that have been used to promote
companies.
You could catch this van travelling the streets of America
giving out free samples of Spam. The van itself is shaped like a giant tin of
spam, but if that isn’t enough then the inflatable tin of spam on the top is
sure to get the message across.
Five of these little cars were made to advertise Outspan
oranges, living in Britain, France, Germany and South Africa. It was based on
the Mini and you could see it on the streets between 1972 and 1974.
Cadbury’s Crème Egg Car
In 1989, Cadbury’s released their Crème Egg car. It was hard
to drive as the shape of it meant the pedals were in a different position, and
inside wasn’t the most comfortable car to sit in. If you want your own, you can
still get a miniature toy version of it.
Birdseye Pea Car
Birdseye have had some memorable advertisements in their
time, but nothing quite as whacky as their pea car. It could reach a speed of
50mph (although whether that’s safely is not so certain) and was built like a
go-kart. This is a more recently made car than the other ones on the list,
hitting the streets of London in 2005.
Chrysler Zippo Car
Born in America in 1947, the car travelled all of the 48
states of the time. It wasn’t the most well designed cars – it’s weight meant
that the tires kept blowing out. However, it was one of the most famous
promotional cars in the United States and even though it only had a few years
on the road, it definitely made its mark.
