1975 AMC Pacer

Billed as “the first wide small car,” the Pacer’s width couldn’t fix its gruesome ugliness. Designer Richard A. Teague based the Pacer’s shape on how a football looked as it sliced through the air, but it reminded the public of other things. Unkind nicknames included Hamster-Mobile, Moonbuggy, Bubble Car and Egg on Wheels. After six years, the Pacer disappeared from AMC’s lineup.

Hey, these were great little cars. Unusual, but not “bad”. I have fond memories of being squeezed into one to get a ride home from track practice every week… with five cheerleaders.
