Not to mention one of the ugliest cars ever made...
I think Bertones look good. But beauty is so subjective. The ugliest 'car' (in my opinion) ever made - with no redeeming qualities whatsoever - has to be the pontiac aztec. Shockingly ugly design! Even more shocking is some people bought them.
I really like the basic bottom end 240's (don't like power windows, or seats, etc etc) & can probably grab one pretty cheap. & I won't feel sacrilegious driving it in the winter.

I've seen lots of 122's with goofy illuminated switches from CanTire, tacky I say.
That's what I've got at the moment. Can Tire blackbox special with 3 switches mounted below the ashtray. One for fan, one for fog lights, & one for O/D. & yep, it's ugly! Functional but ugly.
& I have a push start, which combined with the switch box makes for some messy wiring.

You may not want to do this work yourself as it requires some specialized tools. They are complicated inside, but not much to fix.
I'm keen to learn though. I think I'm going to have an interesting winter!
Waaay off topic again - the penticton car show is on this weekend, & from what I've heard there's quite a big turnout. My folks were driving from cowtown to the Island yesterday & saw a steady stream of 'classics' heading my way. Should be fun. & at the same time there's an Elvis impersonator festival!
