I've always thought AMC made the ugliest cars - ever-. The Gremlin, Pacer, Matador, Javelin are all hideous.

I had a string of girlfriends who all drove Gremlins. (Married the last one, so they can't be all bad.) First one had a nicely optioned Levi edition that actually ran decent. Maria's was a bargain-basement car that someone GAVE her. Even then it was too much. Grandpa had a 70 Hornet with a small block V8. (304 or 301. Can't remember which.) It was supposed to be my first car, but Dad nixed the idea. Grandpa got $150 for it in trade on the Volare that he, Grandma, and his brother Jay and his wife Dot amost got killed in. I'd rock a two door Hornet if the opportunity arose. I've also seen some cool things done with Pacers, and the Javelin/AMX and (later model) Matador are just flat cool. When I was bridge hunting back in the very early spring, I saw an SC/Rambler on a flatbed, hopefully on the way for a restoration. Ugly, yes, but very cool.
