It seems they fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. <br />Nevertheless, they have their admirers. One of the nastiest cars I've ever seen is the Studebaker Avanti.<br />It has a crowd of adoring followers. Amazing. Raymond Loewy, um. Well he was a very clever man with a talent for designing ugly things.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-56250257870023659502010-09-19T20:35:49.716-06:002010-09-19T20:35:49.716-06:00@A. - How could you not believe me when I posted a...@A. - How could you not believe me when I posted an actual picture?<br /><br />@Adullamite - Me too!<br /><br />@Stephanie Barr - Point? I don't know. I just blog for fun, really.<br /><br />@Lidian - It was probably fun to parallel park. :)<br /><br />@Sheila - Are Yorkshiremen thrifty, too? I didn't know that reputation. I'd only heard about the bad fish and chips. Wait, that's the county next door.<br /><br />@Jeff King - Hi Jeff. Amazing cars then. Like Lidian says, a different planet almost.<br /><br />@Soubriquet - I have a feeling Edsel sold more cars in their worst year than Studebaker did counting ALL their car ines. :) There was nothing wrong with the Edsel, btw, just that people didn't like its futuristic styling. At least it was as reliable as any Ford. Studebaker? Ehhh. I think "cheap" really describes this car.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-74492964080281597962010-09-17T10:44:40.945-06:002010-09-17T10:44:40.945-06:00This would be to Studebaker what the Edsel was to ...This would be to Studebaker what the Edsel was to Ford, then?<br /><br />That Sheila's obviously lying. We Yorkshiremen like value for our money, that's not the same as "cheap". So if she thinks she saw a Yorkshireman driving one, it was probably a Lancastrian, in disguise.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-7157135784479667182010-09-16T16:11:33.697-06:002010-09-16T16:11:33.697-06:00HA--great find.HA--great find.Jeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-76333948158151799752010-09-14T11:04:17.526-06:002010-09-14T11:04:17.526-06:00I saw one of these the other day, I swear.
