Beautiful cars/Ugly Cars
I full well realize that beauty/ugly lies in the eye of the beholder, but I also think that there is some consensus on what are some of the most beautiful cars ever on the street as well as the ugly ones. I assume that most of us on this forum consider our C5's to be one of the most beautiful cars ever ( thank you John Cafaro). So my question: what are some of the other beautiful cars and what do you consider to be some ugly cars?
I'll start: Beautiful -1966 GTO, Ugly-1959 Chevrolet
( and I do have fire suit on )

I disagree with the 59 Chevy. A Belle Air bubble top is beautiful (IMO). My favorite car ever is the 57 Corvette. My dream is to own a 57 resto-mod that drives like my C5. I totally agree with the Lada/Aztec comment above, but I will add the Audi TT into the ugly mix.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The ugliest car I have ever seen is on this months copy of Hot Rod magazine. That has to be the ugliest abortion I've ever seen. I just don't understand this rat rod craze. It was embarrassing to us when we were kids to drive something with ugly paint and interior. I worked my butt off all summer and saved every nickel and bought a 67 GTO for my senior year of High School in 1974. I sanded and painted it myself. I worked at a body shop. It was gorgeous and I wish I had it now. The gas crunch got to me in 1976 and I sold it for a 1974 Corolla. If I had the GTO now I could sell it and buy 50 1974 Corolla's. We all do stupid things in our life. I would have to put my 67 GTO up as one of the prettiest cars along with my 02 yellow C5 convertible.

ACE 427 Cobra / 1969 440 6-Pack Road Runner / Mercedes Gull-Wing / Jaguar XKE / Most Vettes (see below) (all pre '72).
Saw a vette today that would change anyones mind as far as C5 beauty. Had stainles steel naked lady (like you see on an 18 wheeler) tail light covers, ss rocker covers, every stick on ss emblem carried by Advance stuck on the side (including fake ss louvers on the front quarter) and 22" rims. Thank God the ABC store was within reach as I could not have continued life after seeing this monster. To each their own....
Ugly? AMC Javalin, AMC AMX, oh WTH...all AMC except the Jeep CJ. Chrysler K-cars, Ford Fairmont, Edsel, all mini-vans and the late model T-Bird.
