    I always thought the Stout Scarab was the best example of the genre of like vehicles from the mid '30s.
    I had the good fortune to see one 'in the flesh' once several years ago. Really nicely appointed and trimmed.

    I figure I should at least put in the wacko truck that started my love with old, big, and ugly, I bought this 41 G.M.C. K-18 signal corps panel truck when I was 17 and I drove it in high school. Some before and after pictures. It was sold by me 6 years ago, to a person that fell in love with it, it has a certain amount of brute ugly going for it as well.

  5. I know it will catch flak but ever since I saw a 55/56 Ford Crown Victoria, I though that was about the ugliest top ever put on a car. I have never ever like that big piece of chrome going across the top of the car. The hardtop always just looked cleaner to me.

  9. I started a thread like this a couple of years ago that quickly got closed. "What kind of car you wouldn't be seen driving in high school, would you drive now!"
    I offered up the '62 Studebaker Lark that I stuffed a 300hp 327 into. It was your "mama's car " when I was growing up. I find myself drawn to the odd and ugly cars at the shows... kinda reminds of myself :confused:

  13. Nochop you beat me to the 61 Plymouth.
    Plymouth started the ugly trend in 1960 with this bucket of ugly.

    Some neat features on the 61 though, you can see where the customizers took cues or vice versa Detroit

  26. Not a "car" but I really like my 1957 Dodge Sweptside pickup while thinking it is ugly. Flat front n fins are an unusual combo.
    Maybe someone can post a pic.

    1 more car I promise, Rex Winter
