They did that in case a German supercar overtook them. It would be any Frog's instinct to take a hard-right into the bushes. The offroad suspension reduces the chances of damage when it goes over the curb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted August 28, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2022 This homely little stump is aptly named. It is an Imp. A Hillman Imp. It looks like it ought to have a guy in a gorilla suit driving it in a Peter Sellers movie. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The ugly says French, but the grill says Alpha Romeo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted August 30, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 30, 2022 The car looks good from the side and back and the nose looks better in black, but that is a hell of a Beak they saddled that poor car with. Alfa Romeo insists on putting that grille design on every car they build, no matter how wildly out of place it may be. Branding is important, but damn. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted August 31, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2022 I really like this old boat, but the automotive designers were really running amok with the chrome trim by the end of the fifties, weren't they? Look at the back end of this old girl. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Good that Edsel included gun sights at the end of the front fenders for both driver and passenger. And fender skirts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The front of that Edsel station wagon hints at 1970s Dodge and Pontiac designs, doesn't it? Dating Edsels is easy. The marque was in business for a whole two years and at least they got rid of the infamous 'horse collar' front detail by 1960. I confess that I do not believe that the Edsel automobiles were the definition of ugly American iron. Other makes of the same period (1958 - 1960) were as ugly and some even uglier. NB that station wagon model is the Villager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
