Corvair? only beats Aztec since it was first. Jordan/James, etc.
 
My dad worked on the one on display in Henry Ford Museum. The steering wheel centre is missing because they were try work out the linkage etc.

Again, there are no contenders, the Aztec reigns supreme in 'ugliest American car'

I dunno, every time I see one I want to convert it into a teeny tiny strip club.

Ugliest car, hottest girl(s) would be the ad tagline.

Ugliest new car = any 2016-up Honda Civic. All those black plastic vents all over, and semi-Crosstour styling. Then tack on the stupidity of the price tag of the new 'Type R' and you have the trifecta of
dumbass design.

For new, I agree, I just saw one on the street for the first time.
Aztec still beats it, but the Civic is working on it.

Considering the Aztec was a one and done experiment (in the same era as the fugly Honda Element/Scion XB, Chevy Astro :D), and the other is a mainstream bread and butter car for one of the world's best automakers

My first car was our family hand-me-down, a canary yellow 76 AMC Gremlin. Uglier than hell, 3-on-the-floor, but retardedly-simple to work on and built like a tank. I rolled mine and beat 90% of the dents out with a 4-pound mallet. I was in 3 (?), maybe 4 accidents with it and it kept on ticking. I rammed an old man in Wilson driving home from ECU; all I needed was a new radiator and grill, his car was totaled.

If you put the back seat down and the back hatch up you could easily get laid in it ;). I was banging a gal in it and unbeknownst to us an ECU campus cop was about 20 feet away, watching. Afterward, when I closed the back hatch (cause her feet and my ass had been sticking out the back), the cop told us to move along, and with a laugh he said he had thought about putting one of those orange flags on her feet, like you do on long things sticking out of the backs of cars and trucks.

My '76 Chevette was a sweet sweet ride. Had to beat the chikies away with a bat.

My buddy's loved it so much they would constantly ask "How's yer Vette, bro (snicker snicker)".

But it was a 4 speed with rear drive, and it would blow the doors off my buddy's diesel Rabbit.

AMC had good designs ahead of their time but with limited funds,
the flush door handles, internal rain gutters that the Thunderbird copied,
rack and pinion, lots of glass. My friends dad in HS had a Pacer X.

My first car was a Pinto. For a time I also owned a Gremlin (bought it for $200 and kept it parked for a spare car, never put it on the road)
It is sad... I recently looked into getting one or the other. If they are in any way decent, they both cost a fortune.
 
All these cars are cool except the mustang the "vette" and the Aztec.

Tennis player John McEnroe drove an orange pinto. My dad got a used '76 Pinto from hertz, cost us $2,200 with 24K on it, ran great, lost head gasket between cylinders, we replaced that and he sold it to lady at the plant, he noticed it in the parking lot years later, security guard had it, he could not believe it had over 250K on it when the lady bought it. I drove a '76 Bobcat with V6 engine, that thing hauled.

I wasn't much for the car-trucks, but I always preferred the Ranchero over the El Camino.
My Father in Law in the Keys always wanted a 65 El Camino. Told me to keep an eye out for one. Well, I found one..1965..cherry..with the 327 and factory air. I got the guy to let me have it for 12.5K, which was cheap. I gotta admit that car was cool and the little 327 would flat-out get it.
Didn't Cadillac make one of those things?
