Re: [Amc-list] Ugly Cars

[Doug Dornbos <dornbos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Typical journalists .... instead of reporting the news they had to spin 
it. Did the article also mention that McKeel Hagerty (CEO of Hagerty 
Insurance) actually owns a Pacer himself? What Hagerty actually did was 
to take a poll amongst its' clients as to what “The Most Questionable 
Car Designs of All Time” were and then to compile the 2500+ results 
which apparently the Kenosha paper called the "Ugly Cars" list (some 
made the list for mechanical reasons.) You can read about it on the 
Hagerty site at:

and a more balanced article here:
