  1. Well, to each his own.

  2. This is strictly my opinion. The early 60s cars produced by Chrysler Corporation are some of the butt ugliest automobiles ever produced in the United States. The two worst offenders to the eye being the Valiant and the Imperial. On par with the Pontiac Atzek (or is that the Azwreck). Of all the early to mid 60s US compacts the best looking were probably the first generation Pontiac/Olds/Buick 2 door hardtops followed by the 61 to 64 Falcon 2 door hardtop and the 64/65 Rambler American 2 foot hardtop. The last two had very similiar lines. Especially the rear glass. But then a lot of cars then did. Of the late 60s compacts the best looking were the Chevy II, the Dodge Dart and the AMC Rogue. All in their 2 door hardtop forms. In terms of sheet metal quality in terms of stampings probably the worst US built vehicle of the 60s was the early Mustangs. Especially as the stamping dies wore out rapidly due to there not being properly heat treated. Ford had to execute a crash program to manufacture new tooling. I mean the next time you see a 64-1/2 or 65 Mustang look at it critically. The sheet metal looks about as tinny as a cheap toy wind up car.
