OK, you guys are right, those are both really ugly.

Most of the rest of the cars in this thread aren't necessarily ugly, they just have character.

Hmm, well, I've had some ugly cars, and grew to at least be fond of all but 2 of the cars that I've had (80 Mercury Topaz and '81 Olds Omega 2.5L).

Some of the ugly cars that I've had or driven.

I didn't really love this one, and it wasn't mine, but it was the first car that I drove. It was actually my mothers. I did have a fair amount of fun in it though.

1976 Chevette, cream with faux wood applique, 1.4L, 52hp, rear wheel drive.



I was fond of this one, had a ton of fun.

1980 Chevy Citation, 2.8L 6 cyl, 5 spd, full gauges, buckets, console
Mine looked like this except it was gray over blue.


I had 3 of these, '78, '80 and '81. All three had a 1.7L VW engine and tranny and about 80hp. None of them were the Shelby Turbo model. I had a ton of fun in them.


These are cars that I love that many/most would probably think are ugly.

'58 Chevy


'59 El Camino



Here's a car that lots of folks seem to like that I think is really ugly. (I don't have it, but figured it was worth mentioning)


And pretty sad when you consider it's predecessor.
