Re: Harley Earl vs Edsel Ford vs Virgil Exener

That being said ..Is a 59 Impala considered ugly or beautiful In your opinion ?

It's more in the "ugly but cool" category

not as ugly as a 58

I like 'em all - and the AMC guy, too. There are specific examples that I don't care for - like the '61 Plymouth, the Pacer (I like the Gremmie) and several of Ford's designs. Not really big on a nember of Chevy's designs, and the '58 Olds looks like they went into a kitchen accessories store and bolted on all the cabinet knobs - not good to my eye. I agree, however - to each his own. There's a reason we're not all married to the same woman.

Great designers - but Raymond Loewy and Bob Bourke did well, too!

The 53 stude was great! Too bad they didn't leave it that way for several more years

(like the 55 chevy....and many more....)

GM had it in those years.I bet Harley Earl is spinning in his grave.
Give me a Chevy or Pontiac from the early 60's and id be very happy
I'd prefer a 61 Ventura.
