Ugliest Car GM ever built

[sweettractors]

I have a 1978 Buick Century Special that has to be the ugliest car that General Motors ever built. Do you have one that will top it? Ken Sweet

Ken - I think the Mercury Capri was uglier ..I had one of those and what about the Gremlin ?

 

[jinman]

Ken, surely you have forgotten the Pontiac Aztek (1st picture below). It is surely the ugliest car GM ever built.

...and the AMC Pacer is about the ugliest American car I ever saw on the road.

1978 Buick Century Special

There was one model like that that had a fake Continental look on the back. It had to be uglier.

When I saw the thread title, I thought Aztek.
Jinman, there were a few AMCs I liked, but arguably all AMCs were ugly.

I thought that 1978 Buick Century Special was just "plain" instead of ugly. For ugly, I agree with jinman that the Pontiac Aztek would be the winner, and for trucks, the Chevrolet Avalanche is the hands down winnter.

...but arguably all AMCs were ugly...

Even though some of the models were not the best looking automobiles...one exception I think is the AMC Eagle...the single tone 4x4 wagons are a rather handsome vehicle...and very sturdy I might add...the standard curb weight on the Eagle was close to 4k pounds...

I have pulled more 4x4 pick up trucks out of the mud and precarious situations with my Eagle than I can remember...(even one F250)

. . . and for trucks, the Chevrolet Avalanche is the hands down winnter.

Ditto! A whole truckload of ugly.:laughing:

This could be a realllllllly long thread.

This one rises to top of my list: 83 Seville, looks like it was rear ended, from the factory.

I can't Imagine what they were thinking. :confused3:

Edsel................ nothing uglier

I didn't think the Edsel was bad looking at all, but the best description I ever heard was a Mercury sucking on a lemon.:laughing:

I really like the lines on that Caddy Ken Sweet

I agree with you, although the Buick Rendezvous is right up there tied with the Aztec, they are basically of the same afterbirth. How much do you think those engineers made off that??:laughing: A car dealer owner I once knew said "If there is a seat in it, someone will buy it." I edited it of course. The Pacer fishbowl thing, yeah that will be hard to top. My brothers first car was a 76' (I believe) Gremlin, that too is fugly. I didn't ride in it by choice, mind you.

Ouch, that thing is hard to look at Ken...It's in a league with an early 70's Ford Maverick.

I worked at Cadillac Motors when we were building that car. We called it the "bustle back". It really hurt the sales....

 

[keegs]

That looks allot like the old Chevy Citation. An updated version might be the '07Malibu Maxx.

I get some ribbing for my new Chevy Cobalt coupe but it's not a bad little car really. Gets close to 40 mpg and I paid < 13k for it.

 

[LostInTheWoods]

+1 on the Aztec.

Worst. Looking. Car. Ever.:thumbdown:

 

[irvingj]

Agree 100% with the Aztec... AND the 83 Seville. (Couldn't remember the year or model. Thanks --I think-- for the pic, Ray!)

But I really have to disagree about the Maverick; I thought it was rather clean looking, though the names of their colors left a bit to be desired....:laughing: ("Anti-establish-Mint"???) However, when they stuck those huge 5-mph bumpers on 'em, they really ruined the lines-- that and a lot of other vehicles!

I also had a 62 Rambler Classic wagon for a while- a great snow car, with 16" wheels-- way ahead of its time! But was that before "AMC"?
