What it is :

The car designed by "average American" and Springfield resident Homer J. Simpson. Complete with extra-large drink holder, tailfins, two bubble domes, shag carpeting and a horn that plays "La Cucaracha," it's the model that drove the once mighty Powell Motors out of Buisness.     

Where it Can Be Seen:

Right now, nowhere. No one is quite sure of the whereabouts of the Homer prototype. Some say that the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California, purchased it to be the centerpiece of a planned Really Stupid Cars exhibit.

Its Worth:

Hundreds of thousands of dollars. For the serious automotive collector, the Homer represents one of the rarest, ugliest, most poorly thought out cars in history.

16. The Trillion Dollar Bill 

Its Origin:

President Truman authorized the one-time printing of this official United States currency to use as the funding for the post-World War 2 reconstruction of Europe. the president then entrusted the bill to C. Montgomery Burns-one of the richest and, thus, most trustworthy, men to transport the bill to europe. The bill never made it to the continent; burns kept it, thinking the aid was wastful and un-necessary. The bill remained in his possession until the United States government put together a mission to retrieve it. In the ensuing debacle, the bill fell into the hands of Fidel Castro.

Its Worth:

A trillion dollars (even more to coin collectors - it was printed in 1945).

Its Featured President:

A smiling Harry S. Truman, simultaneously giving the thumbs-up and A-OK signs.
