Was that the Mercury Monarch (sister of the Granada) or the Lincoln Versailles? As I recall, Lincoln was first to come out with the severely overpriced mid-size car; Cadillac was second with the Cimarron. Of course, by this time, our own Chrysler Corporation had abandoned luxury cars altogether with the elimination of the Imperial Le Baron. The best that they could hope for is mid-luxury competing against Buicks and Mercurys.

My vote for American ugly goes to the AMC Matador of the mid 70s- ick. But no match for certain Datsuns of the same era. Or how 'bout the Mercury Monarch of the late 70s with that flourescent tan vinyl roof/opera windows/cheesy grille and hood ornament deal ala Lee Iacocca Italianesque rolling livingroom situation?
