My nomination for the ugliest car of the 1950's goes to the short-lived
1958 Packard, that "Packabaker" with the vacuum cleaner wide, flat grill
and the tacked on, tacky quad headlights that made it look like a toad.
Next to it, the Edsels were all beauties in my book. What a sad ending
for such a great, distinguished make.

Let's not forget the gawdawfull Matador. Easily the ugliest car of the
70's. I had forgotten about the VW "thing". But the Element still has
it in my books. I guess you could do a ugliest car of each decade in
this order-
1950's- Edsels, any Edsel
1960's- Some of the Early 60's Oldsmobiles were hideous-chrome covered
monsters, but I'm up for nominations on this one.
1970's- the before stated Matador.
1980's- Early 80's Lebaron Convert- woodie.
1990's- Was the Aztec offered in 1999? If not, the Pontiac Minivan was
a bubbled ugly pregnant guppy. That and the Chevy variant of it.
2000's- The Element.
That's my list,
How about you?

My god and we all thought the " Thing " was bad, but before that we had
the
" Pacer " from AMC. This is getting good.
