In a city known for its history, food, and heritage, there’s one spot that brings out pure childlike joy, the Sudha Cars Museum. Located in Bahadurpura, this museum isn’t about luxury vehicles or speed. Instead, it proudly showcases cars shaped like everyday objects: a burger, a camera, lipstick, and even a cricket bat.

How It All Began
Mr. K. Sudhakar built his first car at 14 as a hobby. Inspired by a Volkswagen Ad in the US, he ventured into crafting portable cars resembling everyday items.
Choosing creativity over convention, he began crafting handmade cars from scrap, each with a quirky twist. In 2010, he opened the museum to share his imaginative creations. Each creation costs around Rs.85,000–Rs.1.5 lakh to build (not for sale). His goal is to spark joy and curiosity by blending engineering with fun.
What’s Inside?
The museum displays over 100 themed vehicles, all in working condition. Some highlights:
- Toilet Car
- Burger Car
- Lipstick, Bag, Stilettos (Women’s Day Special)
- Shiva Lingam Motorcycle
- A car shaped like a pen, pencil, and desktop computer (Children’s Day)
- Condom Shaped Bike (Awareness on World AIDS day)
- Corona Virus Shaped Car (To spread awareness about Corona Virus)
Also on display are uniquely modified vehicles like a three-wheeled auto turned into a van, a Maruti van transformed into a tram, and tandem bicycles for up to six riders. Visitors can also see motorcycles with quirky sidecars, miniature traffic cars for kids, vintage bikes, and vibrant bicycles, each one a fun conversation starter.
His latest creation
A mobile replica of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, built over two years by a 21-member team including 10 Muslim artisans, was displayed at Numaish from January 20 to February 15. Built on a Matador chassis with fiberglass, lighting, and sound, it now travels to villages, spreading the essence of Ayodhya and unity through craftsmanship.
