    2. Maybe one of those mysteries in life, things that never quite gain popularity in life that look like they should be popular.
      There are so many design features taken separately, are rxceptional.

    2. I like the cant to them, particularly from the rear quadrant. And those headlights look mean. Its got so many nice features, but taken together lot of folks say its an ugly car. Beauty in the hand if the beholder.

  6. When I was a kid I thought those things were the ugliest cars around and now I'd give a few of what teeth I have left to own one.

  7. Big fins rule! Probably we will not see their likes again in our lifetimes. Yeah it can be said it is ugly, but sometimes, like with a woman, she can be so ugly she is beautiful, essentially it amounts to good ugly. Knew a girl like that place we worked at. When she smiled the sun cane out, sexy like all get out, had a killer body, and a personality to die for. All us guys loved her and got along with everyone. It all together made her truly beautiful in her own unique way. Funny thing is, her husband was so ugly he was movie star handsome, they got on just great. Really genuinely nice people. The DeSoto of married couples.

  8. With an original hemi, AWESOME. It's great with anything, from a 318 up.

  9. I was in Wenatchee a few weeks ago looking for a NAPA mechanic to do a tune-up on my Winnebago. He had the same beauty in front of his shop, only Red.
