In the late 50's & early 60's, there were a few vehicles made that just look like they have a bad attitude...sort of a scowling, grimacing look to them. These cars prowled the streets when I was an impressionable youngster & to me, they always looked like they'd chew my arm off if I got too close.
In the truck lineup, the angriest looking thing to ever leave an assembly line was the 1957 GMC "big" trucks. These have stern eyebrows over the headlights & a snarl built into the grille...these things look like a rabid bulldog with a spiked collar & bloody fangs!
I love 'em!
Looks even meaner dressed in black...
There were a bunch of different angry looking cars made during the period, too. To me, the top five most peeved, 'kicked-in-the-shins & called-their-momma-fat' type of scowls were worn on these cars;
The '59 Pontaic Star Chief.
The '59 Buick Electra.
The '59 T-bird. (this one's pissed because it got such a dorky looking back end)
And lastly, the face that looks like it was force-fed a bucket of worms that was washed down with battery acid (especially this one, because it's been booted out of a nice warm garage & never cared for since)...the 1959 Dodge Coronet!
Then there's Christine, everybody knows to steer clear of her...
What got me thinking about this subject is that I've noticed some of today's current cars seem to have bad attitudes. I'm sure this one's just angry because it was born as a 4-door. Can't say I blame it.
