Uncle Sam Dragster

Uncle Sam is a 1937 Chevrolet dragster, and an insult to Americana styling:

Corvette with a Big Trunk

Hey, look, a dual spoiler!

I hope, for the sake of whatever sense of decency this vehicle owner has left, that it's at least a Chevrolet or GMC pickup underneath all that Corvette and he didn't do that to a Ranger or a Dakota or a Tacoma.

Chevrolet Cavalier Custom

I just don't know what to say...a Chevrolet Cavalier with mismatched wheels, badly mounted wing and four colors of bodywork. I hope it's a "work in progress."

Chevrolet Cavalier Custom



Based on a quick peek at the car's interior, it seemed to have started life as a late 90's Chevrolet Cavalier. Note that the taillights, though, are not even close to the shape of Cavalier lights, they look to me to be from the newest generation Toyota Celica. And it's got quite a nose job, creating those little triangular taillights without the side markers cutting into the fenders as they do on the stock Cavie. That all looks like custom bodywork, and unless they did it themselves it cost them a pretty penny. What's sad to think is that for all that money, they could have spared themselves the time and trouble of turning a poorly designed Chevrolet into a Toyota Celica clone and gotten themselves an actual Toyota Celica, which is a much better car!

Chevrolet Lumina APV


The 1990-1993 version of the Chevrolet Lumina APV looks like a DustBuster on wheels. This is the reason the minivan has such a terrible reputation, because of truly substandard design. Did anyone even try to make this van look good?

Of course, they did try...eventually, the wedge front end would be replaced by a frond end that looked more like a vehicle and less like a vacuum cleaner. It didn't really help, though, as the van only lasted until 1996, after which it was replaced by the Venture. I own a Venture, so there will be no making fun of it here.

1970 Chevrolet Corvette Vintage Racing

This is a perfect example of taking a beautiful car and uglifying it right up. A 1970 Corvette convertible, painted red and yellow with black numbers, with a yellow roll cage added for safety. Yes, the cage is necessary, but putting it on a drop top was not. And there's no excuse for the paint scheme.
