For Ugly Mopars Only

We used to have a '54 Nash Ambassador, and I thought it was ugly, 'till I saw the '57.............

54...........very much like and same color as ours

Fuel filler was under "in" one tail light lens which hinged up. To start the car, you pulled the shift lever "up" toward the driver





Ours had the much hated "optional Continental Tire Kit" just TRY getting into the trunk



You can see the tab to lift the fuel filler door on the passenger side, bottom of the chrome piece



But I think the 57 far outclassed our old 54 for phugly. Reminds me of something you would have ordered from "Khrushchev Motors"



The designer of the tailights must'a chain smoked for a year over this




Now I can tell you a story which my smokin' *** will never allow me to forget. I had heard -- and probably from my Dad-- a VERY poetic phrase, which just ROLLED off the tongue, and just DEMANDED that this phrase be used. Now I suspected that "I" should not be using this phrase, but you know how 8 year olds, 'er 10, er whatever -- are. Our brains don't work.

So our old 54, the right rear door did not work properly, and it was forever closed and LOCKED, not to be opened. As the eldest son, it was my job to get out of the left rear, hold the door for my sister(s) before retiring.

So we get home from church one muddy winter day, and I got gingerly out of the car in the muddy driveway, trying not to get my shoes too messy. The older of my sisters happily slid right out of the seat, flat footed on the ground, and splashed my shoes and pants.

"Well you little BASTARD!!!" is what came out.

So my *** was red, and NO fried chicken for YOU that Sunday afternoon!!!
