The most unusual car I ever rode in was back in high school, my buddy had a completely original 1956 Cadillac Hearse, all black, with gold-roped velvet curtains and opera lights on the sides. This thing weighed 7000 pounds, had some monsterous Cadillac engine, a HUGE chrome bullet bumper up front, and was the smoothest ride you ever experienced. You didn't really feel ruts in the road in the normal sense, everything was like a slow motion delayed reaction event. A regular '56 Cadillac was big, but this was a behemouth.

We would typically invite the girls to go to a dark drive-in movie (they still had those back then) and watch some slasher movie like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and back the Hearse up, open the casket loading door and turn on those marker lights on the side. For some reason, nobody wanted to park near us . I can't figure it out. . . .

We regularly drove the hearse to school and just had a general blast driving around in that thing.
