You think that's bad? At least it has Corvette running gear.

May I present the Australian designed and made body kit "Porrera". http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...ys/rlwhore.gif

And another gem from "Down Under"... The "faux" Corvette, Perentti.

Still wish I hadn't. Bleh! But, better looking than the Corvette, I think.

Yeah, it's bad, but not nearly as bad as the Corvette abortion. This one is cute or something.

At least the Alfa thing is probably a performer, but what the hell is that thing at the bottom? It's like the balut version of a Fiero. That's horrid! I think that may be worse than the corvette in the OP.

The late 70's Corvette's, in stock form, were not bad looking at all. ...especially compared to other cars back then. Of course the car in the OP is ridiculous, but stock, I think they're way better than any car of the era, especially the later wedge 'vettes

FastCarFan 04-10-2016 08:08 AM

While the cars posted are indeed quite ugly, I humbly submit my votes for the fugliest car.

I work with a guy who drives one of those along with an 07 Impala (stock, probably former rental). He's every bit as strange as that car is.

I've kinda wondered in the past but now I know what a "Constipated Schitt-wagon" looks like. That is just plain brutal.

Ugly cars...........
 
Makes a Pontiac Aztec look good! All that is missing is a "brother" in a purple fur coat!

Mag is at work so I can't post a scan, but I have a Road & Track from the 70s where they reviewed a Corvette station wagon

I have to say, what Zimmer did to a first generation Fiero was actually a visual improvement. Too bad they used a Fiero as a starting point though.

Y'all notice that the turn signals on the Golden Spirit are straight off a VW fat chick? That detail alone is absolute awesomeness.

Scuba Steve 04-11-2016 05:15 AM

Oh... so that's how you turn a Fiero into a Riviera!
