Ugly Cars ... I mean butt-ugly

Some cars have owners that let their vehicles degrade into something gross
Like these....

Others, however, there's no excuse for.  These were designed this way.  Someone got paid to come up with the looks of these cars.

This is a 1950 Saab 92.  It's a two-stroke and was designed to be aerodynamic.
Saab made many ugly cars from the post-war period through the '60s.
Luckily not many made it to the U.S.

The rare '48 Tucker.  Why did Mr. Tucker think people would like this thing?

1958 Edsel.  Maybe the ugliest car by an American company in the post-war period.

France's entry, the Citroen DS produced between 1955-75.

A '62 Plymouth Valiant.  Chrysler's answer to the VW bug.  Only with lots of fins.

The Cherry 120A FII, a.k.a. Datsun F10. As crude as it was ugly.

Somehow AMC managed to sell a quarter-million Pacers during its five-and-a-half years in production.

Just to prove not only old cars are ugly -- this is Fiat's new minivan.
Luckily only available in Europe.

Unfortunately, the Pontiac Aztek is an all-American vehicle.
