Oh yes, i remember the Nash ( rambler ?)....talk about ugly cars looking like a " cigar box on wheels ", funny you should say that, i call the "SCION " by Toyota a " bread box on wheels "...Bighuey wrote:Lafayette was made by Nash. If you remember Nashes, they were the ones that in 1950 looked like an upside-down bathtub. The same class as Hudson, Kaiser, Frazier and Henry J. Oh yes, dont forget the Crosley. It was made by a refergerator company and looked like a cigar box on wheels.There was a Crosley in the movie Porkys.
For me, that wins " the UGLIEST car " award hands down...whatta HORROR of design...i see very few of them on the road...i wonder WHY?..............hello????...

I once had a car that looked like a " space ship "...loved the design, but the engine wasn't worth crap, and the model was discontinued...it was always breaking down...
Can anyone guess what it was?
My most problem free car i've ever had was my 1967 Ford Mustang convertible...
My Worst was ANY jag i've ever owned...but did that ever stop me from driving them?...nosiree, i'm a glutton for punishment...i'm in love w/the DESIGN...
Carpe Diem!

The only new car I have ever owned was a 71 Pinto. It was 1800 dollars and it cost 2.50 to fill the gas tank.
I rode in a Jag once, the most uncomfortable I have ever rode in. No leg or head room. I would need two of them, one for each foot.
