    It's not ugly. It looks a bit like an Alfa Romeo that went wrong...
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    I don't think it's ugly either, it just went against traditional American sedan designs of that era and wasn't popular at that time.

    Edsels were produced 1958-1960, not '54... the Ford is a '53. BMW built the 503 coupe '56-'59.
    The Rambler in your photo is a '62.

    I know I'm a bit late here, but the first two pictures are specifically a 1958 Edsel Pacer.
    UCP's biggest (only?) fan of the '74-'76 Mercury Cougar.
    UCP's proudest owner of a '74 Cougar

    My favorite color is chrome.

    Pretty sure we've identified them now...

    I found this in a police auction in my city, they didn't know what it was. I have a hunch its not American. That's the only picture I have of it. I thought Ford Fairlane at first, but this only has a single tail light on each side instead of a pair.

    ^^^ 1960 Corvair. Hard to believe no one can read the Chevy logos.

    lol Yeah that would have been a plus if they noticed any logos. The convair was the American attempt at a car that drove like a Porsche 911?

    No. The CORVAIR was GM's foray into compact cars of interesting engineering virtue. Their flat six predates Porsche's 901 production by 5 years, and is quite different. The transaxle was used in Pontiac and Oldsmobile models as well, with either slant 4 or small displacement alloy V8 power coupled by a torque tube, something Porsche did 20 years later with the 924/944/928.

    Had you looked inside, the logo is on the dash. If it's still for sale from the PD, that little Chevy sedan is worth saving if not rusty,
    and way cooler than your project ride IMO.
