vision386 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Saw one of these for sale beside the road on my way home today,and had to laugh! UGLIEST car GM ever built (in my opinion) and thats coming from a GM man through and through! obviously we are all "truck guys" but seems 99 percent of us on here also like old/vintage,modern cars as well. Thought it would be interesting to see others opinions of what the ugliest car ever made was?...................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

Green Dash Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I like the GM's from the 50's and 60's, but they're not as indestructible as everyone thinks. Have you seen this video? I could probably come up with several uglies, but I'll start with anything from 1974 when manufacturers had to tack on those 5 mph bumpers to existing models. Much worse than the front bumpers in '73. Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23200-ugly/#findComment-101864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frmconcrete09 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I seriously love the look of that gm, and i am totally not a gm guy, for some reason i have always liked different looking rigs, probably the reason we have 5 new to us dm690s with the offset cab, the reason i love them is because there not some sleek looking peterliner, and will do their job 200 percent better than the peteroadtrucks .

jaysm35a2 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I agree, most new cars look 100% stupid. Who in the hell would drive a new 2012 Ford Fiesta?? Or a transexual "crossover" SUV.

One of my first- well actually the first memory- of cars was a '57 Chevrolet that my grandfather traded for a new 1960 Chevrolet. Both were black with white tops. The '60 had a 283 with a powerglide, I don't know what was in the '57.I like the 55,56,and 57's and the 59 and 60 models, but I think the 58's were the ugliest.Now I think those things that look like a shoe box on wheels are about the ugliest cars. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

The fact that yours was lime green might make the journey more difficult, but as they say "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger". I will say they you have probably had the most excitement in a Pinto aside from those that were involved in rear-end collisions.I wasn't singling out Pintos they were just the first model that came to mind. I was 11 in late '73 when the '74's from the "Big Three" starting appearing in showrooms and I also went to Auto Show '74 at Madison Square Garden. I had nightmares for a month. I dreamt I was being chased by a Godzilla-like creature with 5 mph bumpers covering his mouth and arse. Can you imagine how traumatizing that is for an 11 year old?Several years of therapy (including shock treatments) followed and I was eventually able to "take it to the next level" by staring straight into the grill of a '74 Maverick. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23200-ugly/#findComment-101960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 The only car that i can remember being traumatized by was my aunt/uncles 1960 plymouth valiant,had to ride with them to a wedding once when i was a kid,still have the occaisional nightmare,wost part was it was a metallic lilac (purple) with a white interior!.............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

randyp Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I wish you hadnt mentioned "Shock Treatments" Green, bad enough you had to make me admit i owned a pinto. Doctors tried shock treatment on me one time, silly bastards forgot to check my "polarity" before they turned juice on. Me, being old school, am positive ground. When they throwed voltage to me, i shit a turd out my pecker, pissed out my ass, started mumbling Mandarin chinese, and blew 14 transformers, shutting down half the city. I orta sued em!

Every Pinto owner has experienced similar symptoms to some extent.Tell me, does it hurt when I do this?.... 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23200-ugly/#findComment-101980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
