Featured Art & Inspiration DISFUNCTION AT ITS BEST- UGLY DESIGNS

Annnd the 1942 Oldsmobile

 

The '40s Volvo.
Some people say they think it looks a lot like a late '40s Ford.

LOL. Yeah... and I look a lot like Robert Redford.

 

Oh my!!!!!!

 

You can't offend me...........I like them all (or at least almost all). The one's I find offensive are usually after someone has their way with it.....I didn't want to soil the "customize" term.

 

Man, there's some cars that are my favorites that some fellas think are ugly ('59 Buicks), but hey, if everyone liked my girlfriend as much as I do I'd be one pissed off mofo......The '59 Chevs (which are also on my list of favorite rides) always remind me of this meme I was sent once.....

 

It may not have been Barris's finest hour, but I bet it sure helped his bottom line.

 

I don’t think there’s anything much uglier than a ‘61 Plymouth. It looks like a crab looking head on at one.

​

 

Some of those "Forward Look" Mopars were a bit strange.

 

Most customs fit in this class as far as I'm concerned.
But some of the auto factories really out did themselves when it came to ugly cars.

But I think there are far more "odd looking" or "somewhat strange looking" automobiles then there are ugly ones.

Unique may be the correct word, there are many "unique" cars and trucks running around out there. Some are more "unique" then others.

Far too many people take this car thing too seriously. Just looking at some of the things produced for and by the industry! that alone proves many didn't think it was too serious, the stuff some of they produced, people had to laugh at.

 

I can't vouch for how they were originally designed and built at Dodge but that turquoise and black one looks to have been done to a pretty high standard.

 

Look up the original form, MUCH better looking. After George's brother Sam left, George got real good at building shlock crap.

 

after 32 years of ownership my 1961 Dodge Dart Seneca is starting to look normal to me.

 

There are lots of cars that I don't think are pretty but I can really appreciate a nicely done car regardless of the style, factory built or modified etc.

I’d drive em all

 

@Rickybop I gotta agree with you on the Merc 4dr!

like a lot of women the ass end aint bad, but when you look at the front its oh shit a pillow case aint gonna help

 

I like em all, just some more than others. thing is no matter how ugly you think they look you could always tell what make they were. now if you cant see the badge you got no idea, they all look alike.

 

Keep in mind , for those of you who express great loathing for a particular. car , there's some one who loves it & feels the same about your favorites ... It's fun to watch !

 

There was a time when I was more discerning and didnt pay much attention to some cars I thought were not worthy of my superior judgement on what a truly special car should be like. I have grown up some what and now that I look back Im at the opinion that mostly every model pre 1972 had their own appeal. What Im getting at is Man those old cars were cool, no matter what make or model.

 

Pretty much any custom by Bad Chad. Not hating on the guy. Just can't stomach the Dr. Seuss bad trip creations, especially the 36 Ford humping the 49 Merc.

Renault Dauphine
post war Nashes
most Ramblers

 

Bond minicar circa 1952

 

Which bit ???
You might do. I gotta admit, I haven't seen either you or him bent right over.......

 

Beauty is in the eye of the holder.

 

When i was younger i really hated the 63-64 Chryslers.
Then a friend bought this 63 convertible.
I guess it was the color and conv that made it.
But i actually really like this car.
Later another friend get a 64 300K 2dr ht and i liked that one to.
It was problaby becouse all the ones i had seen before was poor maintanced 4 dr ones.
Since a couple of years i now own the 63 convertible.

 

The four doors are a little awkward but man you can’t beat the ragtops.

 

The 1940 Checker Model A was an acquired taste. I wonder if any of them still exist.

 

Sone of these examples shown in this thread need some pretty thick beer goggles to appreciate.

 

I’ve always thought all cars prior to 1964 (or so) had character & personality, unlike cars of 80’s and on. Newer ones all look alike or more like they came from Mattel’s vacuum form!

 

There’s one I WOULDN’T drive…..the Nash bathtub.

 

I would take that 62 Valiant. ugly/cute.
