Back in the days when cars had style, and even with so many

Makes and models, all changing every year, they made a profit.


And, not only that . . .But one could sit on the porch and name

The cars as they drove by . . .unlike today . . . When they all look

the same ....

Learned to drive on a 63 Buick Riviera (scary big engine). First car was a 63 Galaxie 500.


Gotta love that Hornet.

Great post! Thanks! Turnpike cruiser?

I guess to each his own but with the exception of the 1954 Buick Wildcat II all these cars make me throw up in my mouth. :sick2: Give me a 6 Series or an F01 7 Series over any of these cars. They are so ugly they could be modern art masterpieces.

Interesting in the days when design seemed to run free and motor industry confidence was high. you have to wonder what they were smoking though looking at some features such as the headlights on the Lesabre and rear carrier of the Turnpike cruiser...

1951 Buick LeSabre What would you give for this car now?

A great big paper bag?

1958 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser

WTF were they thinking with that rear end?

 

[cj10jeeper]

Pete - did you just copy my post above or do we think the same...

 

[Herminator]

Great minds think alike
It must be that those two cars stand out as extra crazy/fugly amongst a group of questionable cars.

Some of them look great though, especially the first one 8)

First car was an orignal 3 series E21 320i. I've been looking for a minted 323i for a couple of years just to have as i'm kinda nostalgic. Man, i loved the look of that shark nose and the driver focused interior.

Never seen such a selection of F-UGLY cars ! especially that cyclops looking thing ?

When I grew up, some of my buddie's dads had those cars, but they never interested me much. This is more to my liking

But then again, when my friends drove camaros & mustangs, I drove Lancias...
