Ugly cars driven by TV characters

[catlover79]

I'm currently watching the first season of Charlie's Angels and feel sorry for poor Sabrina Duncan, who had to drive that hideous orange Pinto with plaid interior. :eek: The other girls had a Cobra and a Mustang. Kate Jackson even complained about getting the ugly car, according to the Charlie's Angels Casebook by Jack Condon. I don't blame her one bit. :lol:

Pete Malloy's Harvest Yellow AMC Matador on Adam-12. puke: HIDEOUS.

Gosh, I don't know which were worse - the Matadors or Gremlins. :rofl:

That's a tough choice. :lol:

We may have to do a poll on that sometime. :lol:

Steve Urkel's BMW Isetta was ugly, too. :lol:

Fred Sanford's red pickup truck on Sanford and Son was pretty bad too. :lol:

Whatever the hell this is. :lol:

Def.

Any car Al Bundy had on MWC was guaranteed to be fugly one way or another.

The pickup truck on S&S.

Ditto for Urkel's BMW!

Most of the cars (namely some of the Bad Guys' cars and minus Dee Dee's car) that were on the 1st season or two of Hunter also had an ugly feel to them as well.

A car only the Partridge family could love. :rofl:

The BMW Isetta - which would top out at a whopping 35 MPH. :eek: :lol: Why Steve decided to drive on the freeway in that thing is another thread for another day. :rofl:

:lol: They ended up taking it back the same day.

[browneyes106]

I remember my dad always used to make fun of Al Bundy's car.

[catlover79]

Gee, I wonder why?? :lol:

[jimpickens]

The Clampett's had a real turdmobile along with the Brady's.

[browneyes106]

I think the Griffins on The Family Guy have an ugly station wagon.

[Big C]

Al Bundy's Dodge.

On Leave It to Beaver, Wally's first car was in desperate need of a new paint job. But there's a difference between a bad or ugly vehicle and one in its present state in bad condition. The Clampetts' truck was once a fine utility vehicle (Oldsmobile, circa early 1900s-1910s). Jethro will rub it down with coal oil, as Jed instructed.

Believe it or not, I actually knew people who owned an AMC Pacer. Some did not consider it unattractive!

I have lots of memories of '70s cars. At the time of the '72 presidential election, our street was being paved, and a couple down the street actually drove their white Ford Pinto right down the sidewalk...!

[comedyfreak]

I vote for the Partridge Family Bus. Then the Clampett truck, followed by the clunker Fred Mertz bought for the Hollywood trip which fell apart.

[Dusty's Fan]

I can't recall for sure, but I think that old car Fred bought was...
a Cadillac! (~ LOL)

[Torgo]

Great thread idea! :)
