5 Worst Looking Corvettes from the Factory

Read this before you purchase that used 'Vette you've been dreaming about.

1. Purple Reign

Without a doubt, the laughing stock of the "Vette series has to be the 1995 Corvette Indianapolis 500 Pace Car. This little beauty looks like the bastard offspring of Barney the dinosaur and Sta-Puff the Marshmallow Man. Unless you have a bright red nose and wear size 27 shoes, stay away from this skunk.

2. Purple People Eater

History does repeat itself, and sometimes not for the better. Obviously GM didn't learn from its mistakes in 1995 so three years later in 1998, they repeated. Only this time, Barney traded in Sta-Puff the Marshmallow Man for Big Bird.

3. The One You Can't Drive After Labor Day

If you wanted to play hide and sneak in an Alaskan blizzard, well, the 1988 Commemorative Edition Corvette is for you. The only thing missing now is a set of white wall tires. Hop in this baby and go cruise the miracle mile.

4. Good Old Chrome Dome

Ride this on a cloudless, sunny day and you'll just about blind everyone in a four block radius. There's chrome, and then there's freaking too much chrome. If you want to drive around in a toaster with wheels, the 1958 is the ride for you.

5. Let Go of Your Baggage Already

Why yes, when I am shopping around for the country's premier high performance badass machine, I gotta get one with a luggage rack on the trunk. I guess GM was ahead of its time in 1973; they knew how many men would be kicked out of their house for buying one, so they threw a luggage rack up there to help with the move.
