Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years: Chevrolet El Camino - BusinessWeek

Yeah, it's a farking slideshow but it's fun anyway.

Most are butt ugly but a few are not too bad. (I never hated the El Camino for example)

Yeesh! lol

Nissan S Cargo
Introduced: 1989

A tall curved roof, bizarre rear cargo hold, and windows shaped like pizza slices make this vehicle stunningly strange. The large body looks even more misshapen sitting on its tiny wheels, and for proportion's sake, the headlights could use a bit more space between them. And what's with the circular rear windows?

WHY?

 

[hortysir]

They used to make these right here in Sebring

 

[PixieStix]

There is a reason they called it a Gremlin

The Geo Metro

The Yugo, or not go

It felt like a cardboard box

Besides the obvious picks, (Chevette and Pinto) a lot of the late70s-to-mid 80s CAFEmobiles are notably absent.

How about the Ford Squaremont?

Dodge Omni, anyone?

And don't even get me started on what GM did to the Monte Carlo/Grand Prix/Regal.

But early iterations of the Gremlin had the 304 V8...That car really tore ass.

Yeah, a good engine, but it was still ugly.

How about a 50's Nash Ambassador? Might be "ugly" to some but I bet it would be fun to drive around in...

And the mustang that was muscle car blasphemy

 

[hortysir]

Can't believe the Prowler made the list

 

[hortysir]

WTF????

 

[Ragnar]

I don't get that one either. Like I mentioned in the OP, some "ugly" cars look cool to me. The Prowler looks like something I might have drawn in the 2nd grade. (and I mean that in a good way)

They used those on Mars!
I saw California's Governor riding in one.

WTF????

It's for bubble heads.....
