Re: Ok Chrysler made some of the Ugliest cars in the early '60's
This is such a funny thread. There are plenty of those cars around here, I mean the Charger/Challenger variants. But not so common as some other places, sounds like. They still look really cool to me. Aggressive, and good proportions, and a nice stance. Wouldn't pay 100K for one though. My biggest gripe with modern muscle cars is how heavy they are even though they're fast. As far as 4 doors go, I get it... to a point. My first car was a '71 Cutlass, and I didn't go to look at 4 doors when I bought it. But those Dodges make 4 doors look good. Probably part of why they're so heavy. But pretty cool that you can have your styling, go fast, and take the whole family.

That Polara looked like it was going to jump off the ground when he brought the RPMs up.

Re: Ok Chrysler made some of the Ugliest cars in the early '60's
I did when you posted it, that’s why I said the hell kitties aren’t that hard to beat. That’s one heavy ass land yacht mopar beating another heavy but not as yacht-y mopar. The sound of that big block is heaven to my ears though!
Sorry I didn’t quote you directly, but my response was partially toward your post.

Re: Ok Chrysler made some of the Ugliest cars in the early '60's
The Prowler, and that other ugly car, can't remember the name, Chevy made one that looked like it...Yeah even recently Chrysler made ugly cars...
And True Chrysler made some of the most beautiful...Air Flow, Power Wagon, GTX, Monaco It would be hard to chose between '74 Buick Gran Sport or a '72 Roadrunner..... |

Re: Ok Chrysler made some of the Ugliest cars in the early '60's
I agree I never understood the prowler at all. They could have at least made it fast. Granted go fast tech and meeting emissions hadn’t evolved like it has today but they were slow as hell.

Re: Ok Chrysler made some of the Ugliest cars in the early '60's
Come to think of it, Plymouth was ahead of it's time in '61. They set the trend for today's front end styling with that go against the flow predator look
Dodge helped, too, with the misaligned up/down cockeyed willy nilly headlights look With so much focus on front end styling into the far future they forgot about tail lights. Eh, just stick these on Same thing happened with the Valiant and just sticking pods on wasn't working out. Stylist were baffled until a cat hopped up on the window sill

Now those were good-looking cars. Our family had two '57 Coronets at different times. One red, one coral.

The '54/'55 1st Chevy truck grille sure looks similar

Re: Ok Chrysler made some of the Ugliest cars in the early '60's
My mother had 50 Plymouth just like the green one tim posted above ,, I remember the condencer would keep going out on it ,,and therefore at a young age I decided Plymouths would be one car that I never wanted to own,,, and I kept my word and bought Chevies cause my brothers had them.. I look at the green one above now it looks kinda ok.

Re: Ok Chrysler made some of the Ugliest cars in the early '60's
I guess that body style was new in '49. I read it was '50 but that must be wrong. The Special Deluxe was the old body style carried over in '49.
Here are some that are personalized
