18 UGLIEST Cars of the 1970's
When asked about the ugliest cars of the 1970s, we're tempted to say "All of them." Between the big hair, the wide ties, and the gaudy vehicles, the Nixon-Ford-Carter era was not exactly a high point for design of any kind. Still, some cars stand out as particularly ugly, even by the standards of the decade. Brace yourself for a dozen and a half of the worst.

Every Factory Equipped 426 Street Hemi Car!
zhlédnutí 15KPřed 14 dny
Because every classic muscle car that fetches top dollar at auction has a 426 Hemi, there is a misconception that the iconic engine was relatively abundant. The reality is that hemi-equipped rides fetch six and sometimes even seven figures because they are insanely rare. The Chrysler 426 cubic-inch Street Hemi V-8 was only produced for 6 years, between 1966 and 1971. In that time, only 9,778 Do...

    Agree with all but the 914. It's astonishing that the same country that brought us the E Type is also known for inflicting some of the ugliest abominations to ever turn a wheel on buyers. The Vanden Plas is especially egregious, and reminds me of something my dad used to say, "You can polish a turd, but all you end up with is a shiny turd, and shit all over your hands."

    AMC had a string of 'winners'; the folks at Body By Fisher for GM were usually better... but made some formidable goofs. This is what happens when you design by committee. "Form follows function" is the thumbprint... when you swerve away, all bets are off... and you end up with the stuff shown in this video. Even Dr. Emmett Brown wouldn't have chosen from this group a candidate for his time machine. Don't forget, these came out during the height of the new 'drug culture' era. This collection brought to you by folks living in an altered view of reality. Your mileage may vary. "Woah, Dude!" :0/
