Custom Mercury Mountaineer

There's another picture of it at http://www.carsandracingstuff.com/library/m/mountaineer_m.php

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.

Toyota MR2 Mod

Bad rear bumper job on an old Mr. Two.  To me, it sticks out like bad plastic surgery.

MG TD Replica

This car is a Daytona MiGi. It's a replica of an MG TD. Except instead of British Racing Green and chrome the car is done in a dark green sparkle paint with a grill of what can only be described as being chartreuse in color. The license plates have been wiped to protect the guilty, although I'm unsure as to why they deserve it.

Chrysler PT Cruiser

I think the owners mistook their Chrsyler PT Cruiser for an old Mercury Turnpike Cruiser (one of the gaudiest Fulgymobiles of all time).

I really do like the wheel and tire combo on the woody Cruiser, but the rest...my, oh my, the word "overkill" doesn't even cover it.

Batmobile???

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."

Ford Mustang Custom

I came upon this Mustang in traffic on the way to the mall. What the camera didn't pick up is the texture of the car, an matte finish of uneven color, something I suspect is the result of painting a car with a dozen spray cans. Add to that the high wing and fish-gill hood vent, and I knew it was Fuglymobile material.

Dodge Ram Custom Paint

Not the best picture I've ever taken, this cell-phone shot through the window of my minivan doesn't show just how truly HOT PINK and SCHOOL BUS YELLOW this truck's paint is!!!

1974 Ford Taunus 2000GXL Custom

This formerly gray 1974 Ford Taunus has been...customized...a bit.

Part of the idea of "customizing" a car is to make something unique, that no one else has. And if you do this to a car, you're pretty well assured that no one else is going to make a mockery of a Taunus in the same way.

Sadly, though, the front end does remind me a little of the new Chevrolet Camaro concept. Scary stuff...

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!

Honda Civics

I saw TWO different truly uglified black Honda Civics on the same day, on the same trip. I took the picture of the first one, happy to have found new blog material. At first, I thought the second car was the same car as the first, because it appears to have the same huge wing, but then I noticed the missing "Eire" sticker and the extra chrome trim and realized that I had spotted two of these abominations in the same trip!

Datsun 200L

First off, I need to say that I think most lowriders are ugly. This one wasn't doing so bad, maybe from the front I wouldn't have thought this car worthy of Fuglymobile status. But the "pimpin'" sticker on the back window? Of an old-ass Datsun with spoke wheels? Just what exactly does he think he's going to pimp from a three-decade old Datsun?

And are the hydraulics in that car worth more than the whole rest of the car?

AMC Hornet "AMX" Custom

This car needs almost no explanation. Almost.




Yeah, it's a homemade tri-color AMX. Made from a AMC Hornet. I put it on the Classic Customs page (and more angles of this car can be found there) of The Crittenden Automotive Library because I really didn't think it was still Hornet enough to put it on an AMC Hornet page.

It really is a remarkable piece, and a lot of thought and effort went into it, and when you get up close to it the workmanship is definitely better than would be expected when you first see the car. However, they did take an ugly 70's car and make it even uglier, and that's why it's here.

In case you're curious, this is what a regular 1977 AMC Hornet AMX looks like.

Hyundai Accent Custom

This is the first Fuglymobile subject, and in fact, part of the inspiration for this blog. It's about a 2001ish Hyundai Accent with a hideous customization. It'd be an alright "chick car" job, were it not for the angel wings and little front spoilers that make it look snowmobilish. Left to the pink and white paint job and spoiler deal, it wouldn't have been so bad, so it's a good example of heading off in the right direction and going way, way too far.

Anyway, about the inspiration. There was this other blog, AutoFug, another blog of truly ugly cars, and I thought this car really belonged on there. Unfortunately, AutoFug hasn't been updated since April of 2006, so I decided to carry on, creating Fuglymobile to carry on in AutoFug's tradition. So, I created a blog to put this Hyundai online and call it ugly. More to come soon!
