Lately I've felt a profound dislike for the 68 Skylark GS. In the early 70s my neighbor up the block had one in pale pastel yellow, it was ugly to me then. Even as a full blown race car..... bleah.
If you stretch things to the 80s there was a famine and feast glut of Yugos. Before they actually arrived there was a ton of hype and they overstocked badly. A creative dealer in Phoenix where I was living came up with a scheme. He had some in day-glo colors that he added stripes and graphics to and called the GT-Y. I would see them all over and of course think GT-WHY? Sorry even Google Image search won't puke one of those up.
