Not much is known about the
history of this one. It was a
1960's show car in the "George
Barris" style, that was put out
to pasture a LONG time ago.

Found behind an old repair shop
on Rt. 519 in Rosemont, NJ. It
was originally a ’59 Lincoln that
had three ’57 T-bird scoops on
the elongated hood. The interior
was the back seat only with a
huge extension on the dashboard.
As hideous as it was, there was
a ton of work put into it! That car
along with many other far gone
projects were unfortunately
purchased by a s****per out of
Philly.

A LOT of work was put into this
car...a long time ago. The cowl
has been moved back to where
the front seat was, and the front
seat is sitting where the rear seat
was. Front sheet metal now 3
feet longer. These are supposed to
have dual canted headlight bezels
originally, but as you can see SIX
headlights were added.

Most of the mods appear to have
been done using body filler on
that car - way more than there
should be, even for custom body
modifications. Also, a lot was done
with brazing instead of actual
welding. Brazing seems to start
rusting almost immediately......
especially if left outside in New
Jersey.

Pretty amazing what can be
found behind old buildings.
=====================

 

the ute next to it might have been something in its day

 

"Lost" or "hidden/poorly burried"?

 

Wow.

Not much left to save, is there (thankfully).

 

Looks like a Facel Vega behind the UTE...
Strange place

 

Still better than what detroit puts out today.

 

Found in New Joisy....go figure

 

I think ugliest ever might be a bit harsh, but most definitely bizarre and ill-conceived.
But in spite of all that, I'm with silent poet.

Ugh, definitely not attractive. To each their own I suppose.

 

Yup it's ugly as Memphis ***** sunday morning , but it's not the ugliest I've seen..

 

Good hubcaps. The " ute " is one of those flower car conversions. I see a he**** as well.

 

Walk away, just walk away.

 

That period in time was when Kustoms were about killed by themselves......as I remember they were seemingly in a contest to see how many modifications one coud get on one car.
they were so overdone and tasteless ,they could rarely be identified as to what kind of car it even was to start with......

 

Not a Ute, - a flower car.

 

Whaddy know............. crack was popular in the 60's

 

Ummmm.......wow! A lot of time, money, and work went into that for???????

 

I was watching chasing cl***ic cars the other day and they had this bmw custom thing, that was the ugliest car I ever saw. Sold for 145k and needed a total resto.

 

Is that john force's old funny car in the background ?
Too many easily had cheap drugs back then

 

tomatoe - tamatoe

 

BMW Veritas, hands down ugliest. I had never heard of this car until recently, and now I can see why.
I fell on the floor laughing when I saw the commercial for Chasing Cl***ic Cars, and the guy talking about giving up half his collection for this turd. Rarity sure doesn't make it pretty. I know there are those who don't agree, but is this what old cars have become? Because it's rare, rich old guys will fall all over themselves to outbid each other, for something so apocalyptically hideous? Then they'll try to tell you how "innovative" or "ahead of its time" it is, and how the designer was a genius. ********.

I guess it doesn't matter now, because every car in that yard has probably been crushed and melted down, ready to begin its next life as an unreliable washing machine or refrigerator.

Whoever he was, the builder didn't think small. That thing was based on the largest unit body built up to that time, which was then cut apart and extended at the front. THREE T-Birds gave their hoods to the project, and who knows what other cars were sacrificed to create this ********.

 

Man I agree,those guys on the show were thrilled to even see the car.They were willing to bid high $ over it like it was a amazing piece of art,LOL. What a piece of ****.The fins are (sky high) with rows of round tail lights on them and the body proportions were way out of good taste design. The Lincoln on here is just about as bad .

 

I've seen WAY uglier customs than that. It's really no uglier than it was originally, actually, maybe even better! Better being relative...

 

We're on the same page, I see.

 

Ute is a pickup, a flower car is not a pickup.

 

oh stop your still pretty no matter what it is

 

Bizarre? Definitely? Ugliest custom ever? Not even close.

 

I figured some ***** would chime in with a new jersey comment..do some research, and you'll learn that new jersey was a hot rod and custom car mecca during the golden years, many significant builders and cars....BTW, the only people who say "joisey" are the idiots not from here.....

 

Little tough on Detroit guys . Lol. We got a lot of old rides just sitting around as you drive through the city in the same.condition. its a damn shame

 

I'm right there too on this thought. Ability means nothing without taste and a sense of proportion. This one seemed to have lacked all 3.
