I'm not sure fugly is a strong enough descriptor.

How about Butt Fugly.

Funny - you guys dont seem to comment that a car like this produced in the 1950's is remarkably similar to the Cobra, yet you just say its ugly!

Although I would agree that a Cobra is better looking, they are not that dissimilar.

The car looks like a Cunnigham - which I would have thought you American guys would love - US made, and were bloody fast for their time.

As for the Chev comment - grow up, its been said more than enough.

Thumbs up IT'S PRETTY DAMN NICE

Here we have a vintage kit car from the fifties and you guys are slamming it.

I think it looks better than many current kinda-sorta-off-scale-wanna-be-Cobra-look-alikes. I wonder what people will call an FFR, Lonestar, WCC, or other dimensionally iincorrect kit in 2060? Fugly, probably.
Hell, you can call those Fugly NOW!



P.S.: It seems to be eligible for vintange racing. You could by it and start hanging around a better class of people!

There were some unusual true kit cars in the 50's and 60's like the Bocar, Laudari, Encidia, (I'm sure I'm killing the spelling) Lister, ect....
I'd have no problem running that car up and down the road a bit.
Check out this link for a car that does not look to impressive in pictures, but I saw it in person and was very impressed with the car. It sold for more than I was willing to bid.

Actually if the front end was lowered down a inch or so it would be pretty good looking. I have seen several Cobras that would make this look like a million bucks.

Looks to me like a mixture between a 289FIA with a little mid 60's vette up front with a 289 slab side for the rest.

I bet it is one of those cars that look better in person.

At least it is not another (fiberglass kit, yeah I said it)32 ford with a small block chevy that I am so tired of seeing
