Resurrection of the World’s Ugliest Car
A mechanic in Dorset has spent the last twelve years restoring what is surely the world’s ugliest car. This vehicle was built by a New York priest 50 years ago who intended it to be the safest car ever made. It had more than its share of teething troubles, breaking down 15 times on the day of its official launch, and after a few years it ended up being abandoned in a field behind a body shop in Connecticut. The car deteriorated there for 30 years, but when mechanic Andy Saunders learned of its existence, he thought he had never seen anything so ugly and knew he had to have it.
- I think the fluid lines and chrome finish are actually rather nice – it’s shame it looks like it’s been punched in the face! Besides, surely Humvees are the world’s ugliest cars….— richard 31. March 2005, 07:59 Link
