I’m guessing it started out life as a Chevette. Certainly proof positive that no matter how much you polish a turd, it remains a turd.
You know, it wouldn’t be bad looking if…
…if…
…no. You could not make that car look good. The name alone has SCTV comedy written all over it. I’d drop the vinyl roof and the fender flares and smooth the front grille just to make it survivable. Other than that, though…
I like it. It would definitely rate a place of honor in my collection of Objects From Parallel Dimensions.
That “car” (for lack of a better term) looks like a gene splicing experiment that went terribly wrong.
Take Chrysler Cordoba front fenders, mix in a Ford Granada radiator grill and headlights, put the rear greenhouse of of a American Motors Pacer, mix in about 27 yards of brown nagahide, and graft onto the root stock of a Chevrolet Vega. Then once you have done that, all that is left is to add the $10 wheel covers from Pep Boys.
Holy Fuck somebody has bid over $3,500 for that shitbox? Somebody has all of their taste in their mouth.
What about the Daimler SP250? Looks kind of like a catfish. (I think it’s an actual example of ‘a sports car designed by committee’.)
Compared to the car in the OP, it’s a beauty. Indeed, I kind of like it. But it’s still a bit bizarre looking.
Actually, the Daimler Conquest is a little funky looking too.
It’s hard to say exactly where the maker lifted all those unrelated body parts from. The big companies were stealing each other’s lines a lot in those days. The side quarters could be from the Cordoba or the Monte Carlo. The Granada and the Grand Prix looked similar to each other. The outsized vinyl half top looks lifted from some huge sedan.
It’s hard to imagine two-hundred-some buyers shelled out for this peculiar thing back then.
And what’s with the hammer and sickle in the yard?
In communist Russia, car steals parts from you!
Other than that, I got nothin’.
Oh, and yes, that’s one eye-bleedingly hideous car.
Yes! Here’s a guy with the courage and capital to build a low-volume car, and he doesn’t have a single original idea! He could have hooked up with Ed Roth or George Barris, but noooooooo!
it was obviously a car designed by a group of committees who had little or no idea what the other committess had in mind.
An elephant is a mouse built by committee…

I’d just like to quote this gem from the item description:
Now I’m curious to see what the good people of Pots Falls, Idaho consider ugly.
Surely it must be a prank, created via Photoshop!
Looks like a hearse for small creatures. :eek:
Cleverly, the seller has transposed the name of the actual town, in order to keep from making a false statement. Also, I think Cabalero is supposed to have a double L.
Check this out, Tuck: www.leata.com :shudder:
That’s a 1975 model? :eek:
And none of the links work in the website. Looks like they design web pages as well as they style cars.
I get the feeling that Post Falls lost touch with the rest of the industrial world around 1950.
Post Falls?
Viagra!
Maybe they assumed the tractor was included.
Nah, that tractor is covered with bushes. It’s a no-go.
That looks like that… thing… Wesley Snipes drove into spring training in Major League, only worse. And tackier. And uglier. Worse than the almighty “lime green hatchback” Pacer mistake from that commercial.
