Fifth Gen Chevy Nova?

That’s not that egregious enough to warrant being in the top 50 though.
AMC Matador to the coffin nose Matadors Al on the same basic body is much higher on my list.

Almost any American car made in 73 is aesthetically unappealing to the eye. The government mandated energy absorbing bumpers by ‘73 but didn’t really give Detroit any lead time to design it in to the front end. The 442 show is a prime example of how the design was basically a bumper bolted in front of shock absorbers on in front of the grill.

Yes, and it’s the same model. Look at the FWD Cutlass.

1974 Charger – 1975 Charger.
Pretty much anything 74 to anything 75 really.

That was the trend at the time for all manufacturers. You could see the styling change towards the late sixties a bit. In the mid the ’70’s it became a lot boxier. It also started the run of keeping the same basic design for several years in a row, such as the 2nd gen Camaro. This has always been my favorite generations, but with the appearance of keeping costs down, they wrang that towel pretty dry. To this day, that still seems to be norm. Up to about the late ’60’s, you still identify by year, each car from each manufacturer. My ’09 Corvette (C6) looked identical all 8 years.

I dunno. Have you seen the absolute perfection of a C3 corvette and then looked at the pinewood dirby car c4? Hehe.
Idk I really love malaise cars. Imo the earlier cutlass is mid and the 73-75 ones actually have more personality. Also they’re way cheaper to buy nowadays cus they’re considered undesirable

The evolution of the impala is heartbreaking to me

The gradual decline of the Ford Thunderbird…start in ‘55 and follow it down.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but fiat multipla pre-facelift to multipla post-facelift
