8. AMC Matador
AMC was an independent American car manufacturer that closed its doors in the early ’80s. Their lineup consisted of mostly economy models, so design was never their strong point. The early ’70s Matador has to be the worst of the ugliest AMC models. It was a strange-looking coupe with round headlights and an ugly, almost hatchback silhouette. No wonder AMC filed for bankruptcy a few years later.
The company even tried to spice things up with a muscle car wannabe version they called the Matador X. Buyers could order the 360 V8 or optional 401 V8 that produced 235 HP. But even with the dress-up kit, big V8, and go-fast goodies, the Matador X was still ugly.
