Time for another UGLY CAR THREAD!!!!

[CO Liberal]

My nominee to start things off is the 1961 DeSoto. It was so ugly, that Chrysler stopped making this former best seller after the 1961 model year.

[bleedingheart]

1. hey it is smiling at me!

[BOSSHOG]

2. How about the AMC Pacer Circa Mid 70's

I always thought it was kinda cute....

[LiberallyInclined]

8. naw...that's a pacer station wagon...

THIS is a Pacer-



and they were GREAT!!
a small car with all the interior space of a big car.

I owned 5 different ones through the early-mid 80's- they were FANTASTIC cars.

(would it surprise anyone to find out that I now drive a VW New Beetle?)

20. AMC Tarpon is even worse than Pacer imo.

Can someone post a Tarpon pic?

[LiberallyInclined]

22. AMC Rambler Tarpon- sharp car!

I LOVE fastbacks- my first car was a '67 Mustang Fastback...

IMHO- the Tarpon looks pretty sharp!

personally, I think that AMC had some of the coolest body designs of the time.

30. That's a sweet car!

How could anyone call that ugly? :wtf:

[ET Awful]

3. The first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. . .

was that it was the inspiration for some modern furniture I've seen :)



This isn't exactly what I was thinking, but look at the lines of the loveseat and tell me it doesn't look similar :)

5. Another beaut' from the House of Chrysler >

The '62 Dodge Lancer wagon. My family was actually plagued by Lancer ownership. Scarred my childhood, I tell you.

9. Aztec wins it HANDS DOWN!

those are/were(thank god) the ugliest. car. EVER.

[TahitiNut]

10. Amen. Every time I see one, I look closely at the driver ...

... because it seems to me they must be completely blind.

[trogdor]

12. My son's French teacher has a yellow one.

They don't look that bad in yellow. As an added bonus, they sold so badly, GM was practically giving them away.

[LiberallyInclined]

24. i think the yellow is the WORST one...

i saw a green one that was only a litle more than half-bad.

[pippin]

7. Ugliest

[CO Liberal]

11. Those Honda Elements are HUGE Inside

I wouldn't mind having one.

[trogdor]

14. Yeah, but what's with all the black plastic?

I mean, you can get them any color you want, as long as it's two-toned with BLACK. So they only look good in black.

[grace0418]

27. The point is that they're supposed to be like a rolling mudroom

You can completely hose them out to clean them.

[Squatch]

13. Can you believe this is a Porsche???

Porsche 914

Absolutely :puke:

[trogdor]

15. Ah, the Volkswagen Porsche.

Made by VW for Porsche. Really.

[Squatch]

17. Looks like the Fiat Porsche, if you ask me.

[LiberallyInclined]

23. a friend of mine had one of those POS...

with the center-mounted engine, the thing could spin like a top on ice(the only problem was that it wasn't supposed to).

[movie_girl99]

16. don't forget about the infamous YUGO

i don't know how to do the pic thing so maybe someone else can???

[Squatch]

18. I'll go you one better...the TRABANT

With Bling, no less.

[Squatch]

26. I just noticed that this guy is holding the hood down with a strap.

How's that for bling?

[AlCzervik]

19. this one right here

[Squatch]

21. EXPENSIVE, too...the AMG is $99,900

I don't know, thankfully, anybody who will pay that much for three tons of ugly.

36. 2005 Chrysler 300 C

When you were a kid, you played with toy ships in the tub. Now you can drive a car that looks like a battlecruiser.
