1951 Nash Ramble Stateman stationwagon. I got it from my older brother, who also hated it. 60 hp, gutles wonder. I figure most people don't even know how ugly this car was. Sorry, I don't have a photo. I drove it to HS. Now on my sixth Corvette, C7.
The AMC Matador with its "Rich Corinthian leather" was the "All time Ugliest-Car Ever Made"...in my opinion.
The Fiat "Le Car" was BUTT ugly here in the United States. I loved the ones like used in the Bond Movie, the "TURBO Le Car". That is one car I would buy in an instant. I saw A Renault "Le Car" involved in an accident in Bogota where it rolled over onto the roof. The occupants rolled it back onto the wheels and started it back up and drove away. That is the only time I have ever seen anybody do that before.
If you ever really drove one "hard" you too would fall in love with the Porsche 914, with the optional six cylinder it was a awesome car. It handled better than the Lotus Europa a friend had and the 914 could trounce the Lotus in an instant with the low weight and horsepower to spare. The guys at GM could have learned a thing or two about roof panels from the 914. With the top off the car it did not start to twist like C4's can.

To be fair to the AMC Matador, it did not have Corinthian leather. Ricardo Montauban coined that phase for the Chrysler Cordoba....Just sayin'
Don't forget the Fiat Multipla 600 (plus some other Multiplas), this car isn't sure if it should be going forwards, or backwards.
Honorable mention to ANY International Harvester pickup.

The first generation Matador was a good looking car here is a link to the cross over year for the name. It was basically the same as the Rebel but new name.
