What is the ugliest passenger car ever?

[bhelms]

LOL - Tks for that! The guy in the picture might even be my buddy! (Haven't seen him in 40 years.) Actually that one looks a lot better than I remember. Maybe my stigma attached to that car was because we could never pick up chicks while cruising around in it. (Back then if you had anything on 4 wheels that moved you were in the running!) But then of course it might have been the driver and passenger the chicks found objectionable and not the car...!

The Pacer, Pinto, Edsel and Gremlin quickly come to mind. Of course, beauty (and ugly!) is all in the eye of the beholder.

I thought this was more funny then ugly .

Since this was brought up in another thread, I thought it might make a good thread on it's own.

So which passenger car is ugliest? Let's say any nomination should be accompanied by a photo of said vehicle.

I nominate the Aztek.

Aztek might be ugly but it is sure a nice ride and you have very little blind spots.

Here is my vote.

Back in 1955 I got a ride in one of these, a Messerschmidt.... It was ugly as all get out but gosh it was fun to ride in....

I bet that was a blast to ride in. I wonder if the Messerschmidt car was related to the Messerschmidt airplane? they sure don't look alike.

 

[Bobby]

Yes, the car and the airplane were definitely related. This was the time that VW was coming onto the American market. German products were being looked at a bit differently post WWII.

Is that Borat?

Throw a rock into a pack of dogs, and the one whut yelps, is the one wus hit.

Sounds like a proud owner!

 

[Van]

Well I definitely have to say that the first generation Aztec was butt ugly and the gremlin was Rosemary's baby but the great injustice which was the 74 to 78 mustang ii was truely an ugly deformation of an American muscle car icon.
