Nevermind the fact that it made all of 115hp out of a fuel injected 6 cylinder
I LOVE that silver Supra next to it!!!!! My cousin had a brand new fully loaded white 1983 model :^)

An interesting unknown fact about the Caprice wagons. GM never took in consideration for the the extensive slop of the back window and the use of these wagons for funeral homes. And lost a big market with this design. A casket cannot fit in the back, with the liftgate window closed.
Typical GM thinking back then- they couldn't even make dead people happy...

I would totally drive one of these, especially with the 350.

There are a few "budget" funeral homes around here that have these in the Buick clothing in use for hearses, one funeral home painted theirs gold. Ive never attended a funeral where any of these cars were used so I cant answer for the casket fitting or not. It appears though, that a different top was used in the hearse applications.

Ridgeline. Is it a car or truck?
Ugly nevertheless. I guess ugly like this has it's small niche.
Accident on first picture does not change appearance much from this angle.

FIAT 500L.
It is amazing how it has grown on me. In a segment full of boring boxes, it's actually different. I drove one and loved it even more.
I love it.

Two of my all time favorites.
The cars made by Gurgel in Brasil. Funny and ugly.

I almost forgot about this one! I have a 1/18th scale model of this car from back when the concept came out. FWIW, Chrysler made some pretty cool (and somewhat odd looking) concepts over the past 2 decades.
