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:

That's a tough choice. :lol:
We may have to do a poll on that sometime. :lol:

My vote for worst AMC car goes to the Pacer! Or as I like to call it the fishbowl car!! :lol:

Mr. Roper's car was FUGLY! :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:

Hey, I actually liked that one. :lol:

columbo had an ugly car

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.

Whatever the hell this is. :lol:
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.

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

:lol: They ended up taking it back the same day.
Gee, I wonder why?? :lol:

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

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

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...!

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.

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

Great thread idea! :)

Yeah, that's what they said. :lol:

:rofl: It looks like a tank!!!!

Is there really such a thing as an ugly car? I think the more proper adjective would be "unique." Or the rhyming "antique."

Oh yes, cars can be ugly, especially when the colors of the body, interior and roof clash. Take, for instance, the yellow AMC Pacer mentioned above. A yellow car with a tan roof. YUCCH.

is that the one tony micielle bought sam for her birthday or was that another yellow ugly car

Actually, that was the AMC Pacer used on Adam-12.

Well, I suppose the car Kevin drove that had an ad for Chong's Chinese toward the end of The Wonder Years qualifies as ugly in my book.

Hmmm, that one doesn't ring a bell to me.

:lol: How about Mr. Bean's car and that ugly blue three wheeler that he was always pushing out of the way or knocking down?

As mentioned upthread, Columbo's car was indeed hideous:

columbo had an ugly car
I'm pretty sure that he bought the car from a certain Fred G. Sanford. :lol:

The car I wouldn't want to drive would be Herman Munsters. I would get more looks. The Clampetts would be another. Both cars just seem so old and out of date. The Munsters car is probably all they could afford and thought it fit their lifestyle. . The Clampetts just didn't know how to buy another car. They were so used the car and never felt it had be to up to date. Did Mr Drysdale ever mention to them ,for Jed had the money, they could get a spiffier car?

I find the car Patrick Jane drives on The Mentalist to be ugly. It looks like it came right off a 1960s alien spaceship.

Citroen DS-19

That's not a Pacer. This is.

I'm pretty sure they drove AMC Matadors not Pacers.

Of course the 1974 AMC Matador Coupe was far uglier than either of those cars.

Thanks for correcting me, and you're right - the 1974 Matador Coupe is HIDEOUS!!!! :eek: :lol:

I think that car was a reject from Lost in Space. :lol:
