95% of everything Pontiac has made since ~1989. It's like they told the designers to make everything look like a cheap jetski ate a fat-ass American car.
I agree, those are really ungly....

My grandfather had one of these for some reason.
....just have to wonder what was going thru the head of the design, marketing and management teams.
they confused "memorable" with "ugly".
Didn't they do pretty darn well at the time tho?
Definitely, Sandy. Always thought that was a fine looking car.
Btw, I remember reading in a book on Chrysler once about how the designers of the Imperial nigh onto s#%t themselves when they saw the design of the Seville. They figured it was their own brilliant idea!
Apparently, the fuel injection system was great, when it worked well. The problem was more with the technicians working on it not knowing what they were doing, rather than just the system itself. Very smooth, if not strong, with astonishing gas mileage for the time.

Early '60's Ford Taunus (Germany) always made me wonder what the Germans were smoking:
1961 Olds. Fugly, especially from the rear :yuck:
1957 Packardbaker. Jeez.

I kinda liked those. Had a metallic blue 1/24 scale model of one when I was a kid. At the time I thought my dad should get rid of his '55 Cadillac and buy a Lincoln. He drove that '55 until 1968. Quite a sight. He also had a '50 Studebaker the first family car I remember. He almost got killed in that when he totalled it in 1953 but that's a whole 'nuther story. I remember in the late '50s-60s they used the chrome nose cone from those Studebakers on some rocket kiddie rides that were in front of grocery stores.
