I remember back in the day being horrified by these cars. But now I find myself being drawn to the retro cheesiness...almost quaintness.... of the bad styling, shag carpet and horrible interior! Want to drive this one to the local cars and coffee.

If you ignore the red shag carpet, which is period correct, you still have a big problem. The two big plexi doors will cook you in a warm climate.

Who could have predicted that Ford Pinto tail lights would be the best looking part of an entire car!
