Jalopnick goes to bat for the El Camino

[Drew Dowdell]

Ten Vehicles That Don't Belong On BuisnessWeek's 50 Ugliest Cars List

Jalopnik, not known for their GM love, pulls apart BusinessWeek's 50 Ugliest Cars list and goes to bat for the El Camino.

Car:1) El Camino
Place on the list: 1
Reason it's BS: Number one. They've got to be kidding. Two words on this one: Screw. Off. First of all, lumping the entire series into one big pile is just plain ignorant. Secondly, it's rude. The El Camino from the outset was a looker and stayed a dynamite design all the way until the fall in the 70s. But then again, everything was pretty fug in the 70s. If they even try to say the 1960 and 1972 were ugly, they might get a Jalopnik-shaped shoe to the butt.

Some amusing reading over there.
