 Studebaker had the first "smile", if I recall right.
 Buick ca. 1953 had a design you couldn't tell if it
 was coming or going - the front and read ends were
 so alike.

 What is downright ugly to me nowadays are the sloping
 front ends.  They look like a cat ready to pounce on
 its prey.  Is this some method the manufacturers are
 using to increase MPH ratings for the EPA?
