Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

[jamespowers]

From an automotive point of view, nothing says Seventies like the AMC Pacer!

Holy Crimony that is bad---but it was one of the AMC bombs that I was thinking of when I mentioned anything produced by AMC in the 1970s.
Nothing says I am a geek like driving a Pacer or a Gremlin.

The problem with this thread is that it has become stale and repetitive. It's just repeating what has been said in the older "I Hate the '70s" thread.

Ok then post a picture of your ugliest car of the 1970s in terms of style and looks then.

You definitely have a point there. However the Pacer and Pinto are still worse. Then there is this one:

So far we've seen ugly American cars from the '70s. How about some ugly foreign cars from the period?

What the hell? Dayglo orange and pink airplanes with smiles painted on their noses.

Jolly birds, iffy packaging. "Hi, I'm Kristie. Fly me!"

You don't remember those?! They were around. Pretty gosh darned ugly though.
The stewardesses look like go-go dances in those outfits.

I remember them ... right down to their thick, scratchy, textured polyester seat covers in psychedelic colors and patterns.

And just what have you got against the obvious lovechild of a Studebaker and an Edsel?

The '70s did have awful-looking airplane interiors ... but boy, were they spacious and jolly. Some of the 747s even had a coach lounge!

1. Aren't exhaust pipes usually restricted to the undercarriage of a car?
2. Have running boards, or don't have running boards. Make a compromise, and nobody's happy.
3. You can try for a boxy Volvo look OR a curved Jag look. See point #2 about compromises.
