A Citreon!!! Now, let's have a contest about the world's ugliest cars.
Citreons would be my first choice.
We saw a PACER!(like new) this A.M. with my car-pool. My daughter,(9
yrs. old), who has never seen one, said it looked like a space ship!!
At least AMC is consistent accross the generations with what people
think of their cars.
O.K. folks, get your votes in for the WORLD'S UGLIEST CAR. I bet there
are some former "East Bloc" cars that can go head-to-head with the
Citreon.
We can have a sub-category for worst mechanicals. I'm sure some make
LUCAS' electrical problems seem saintly.
I'm voting for the TRABANT(sp?) and it's cardboard body panels &
2-cycle puffer of an engine.(Anyone remember the Wall Street Journal
piece on them?...they also had a story once about NASH METROPOLITAN's
and the 2-copies they made as a station wagon).Only 1 survived!
Does anyone think a NASH METROPOLITAN station-wagon would fetch at
auction as much as the HARRINGTON TIGER?
Phil

As I recall, a handcrank starter option was present on the
Citroen ID19 and DS21. Which were available in the US at least
until 1971.
