It's hard to imagine a car uglier than the 1959 Chevrolet.

‘59 was not the best year. Tail fins were in and one finger power steering was big deal.

The minister of local church had a new 59 Chevy provided for him but I think the congregation took revenge by buying a stripped down gray model. That was ugly.

I can't verify this with a web search but the 1959 Chevy was supposedly banned from the New Jersey Turnpike because the fins created aerodynamic lift causing the rear end of the cars to lift up and flip over at turnpike speeds.

My mind may be playing tricks on me but I think I can remember seeing the 1959 Chevy listed as a banned vehicle on an NJT toll ticket. This would have been in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s.
