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.) But for the most part, the following 50 cars will never be anything but design duds.

I call bullsh!t on their opinions. My El Camino was the most enjoyable vehicle I ever owned in my lifetime so far. Wish they still made them.

I don't think the Ferrari Enzo is an ugly car. The Pacer and Gremlin from the 70s were two ugly cars I didn't see on the list. The Toyota Rav 4 might not be great looking but they are good vehicles. Is the Prowler really an ugly car?

I would be willing to take any Ferrari Enzo’s off anybody’s hands that think they are ugly.

Ridiculous list. Tons of worse looking cars to pick from.

The ‘59 Chevrolet Impala should be #1.

So where’s the Scion XB? That silly thing was designed by Matchbox.

Pacer and Gremlin are both on the list.

Aw, c’mon! “The Thing” is practically a kubelwagen! For a utilitarian passenger vehicle, I think it looks kinda cool!

Oh good lord. A list meant to PO everyone.
That Lambo LM has had more SUVs patterned after it then any car in history.
To: DogByte6RER
Completely subjective.
Someone really liked the Honda Element and wood paneled station wagons.

In the eye of the beholder! More than several there I would have liked to have. Several are getting big bucks too as collector vehicles. I would love a “Thing” down here in FL.

Kubelwagen or schwimmwagen, either one would be fine in my driveway!
To: DogByte6RER
Apparently the author thinks all big SUVs are ugly just because they are big SUVs.
Some of those cars were truly ugly, others were just odd.
Then there are the Pacer and Gremlin which are in a by themselves.
