Excluding an Edsel, what was the ugliest Ford?

Post by zxr250cc »

Hi all,

Fun topic as there are valid candidates.

My choice? A 1994 Scorpio I saw in Copenhagen. Stupid looking redo of the model; going from class to crass.

Hi all,

Your photo is a Cosworth model, isn't it? The '94 was much uglier..

Cheers

3rd gen "Bubble Taurus", anyone? Whenever I see one of those, I think it must have crawled out of the river near Chernobyl. As a diehard Ford fan, even I must admit, it's not the prettiest car.

Ford Tempo, Pinto, Fairmount. I think the Mustang Mach E is ugly too.
