Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years
A Half-Century of Automotive Eyesores By Damian Joseph
Considering how many new cars are rolled out every year, it's no surprise that a few might be just plain homely. There's a chance that certain styles might become fashionable with a dash of retro hip. (Well, maybe not from the 1970s.)

Don’t know have not been back in 20 yrs...
When i lived Ireland 30 yrs ago a gallon of gas cost approx $5,so you can understand people driving a car with a 500cc engine.. I believe it is about $8 dollars a gallon now...
The Prowler and the Ferrari Enzo? What? This is all the evidence I need to know that the editors of Business Week are all high on crack - Crack is whack, get some help Business Week.
When I was really young (late 60’s), my Dad had a black Valiant that looked a lot like that one. I remember it had push buttons on the dash for gear selection. He used to tell me R is for Race. L is for Leap.
Man that brings back memories.
On a related note, you might find this story interesting...
I will say one thing for the Wagon Queen Family Truckster. It took one heck of a beating and kept on running.
LOL! Of course, the defendant’s excuse that he couldn’t have been speeding because he knows cops patrol that road is just as funny.
Dang, you can’t be serious. A buddy of mine had a ‘59, and at the same time I had a ‘60. I do like the ‘60 a little better but in my crowd those two cars were the pride of the fleet.
The Scion XB is a clunky, boxy SUV.
The earlier years looked like some kind of bizarre, angular hat.
I thought it was ridiculous, the worst motor vehicle ever, but then I saw #34, the Nissan Cube.
74 Vega is missing (I had an orange one...with racing stripes!)
Let me guess. The racing stripes were needed so it could race past the entrance to the local junkyard?
Yeh, that and to score PeeLENTY of hot chicks! (lol)
