Cars

What are some cars that look better a little (or a lot) beat up?

Call it patina, call it a “Mad Max” aesthetic, call it whatever you want. What are some vehicles that you guys think look more visually pleasing with some dents, scratches, or other body damage?

    Any full size pickup from the 70s or 80s. Size, color and trim don’t matter

    The XJ, ZJ, and WK Jeeps, as well as any Wrangler look better with some mud and scratches.

    Nothing beats that ol’ Toyota FJ…

    My grandfather used to own one, builded entirely by himself as his car project. He need it a ride for some “treacherous terrain” on some properties he used to own.

    Those who know about cars, they know how that FJ was made to survive the Apocalypse, to outlive humanity, the Earth, the Solar System and everything that comes next.

    All high mileage Toyotas, especially from the “blob era”, need battle scars. Door dings, scrapes, curb rash, and the ubiquitous dented bumper.

    Every pickup truck ever. At least then I know they had a reason to get a pickup.

    Early 50s Ford Lunchbox coupe.Lowered with a nice rust patina and some paint looks cool. Put on some steelies rims and baby moon hubcaps and we’re golden.

    I suppose if you smashed a Cybertruck into a couple hundred pieces it would look a lot better to most folks.
