There is no truer adage than, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” In the world of hot rods and custom cars, what may be someone’s cup of tea, might be a cup of turpentine to another. AutoGuide has corralled their list of stinkers from this year’s SEMA show and if it seems harsh, the added notoriety might be worn as a badge of honor by some and could even translate into added buzz for the builder/owner. We’ll highlight three cars here for your perusal, but be sure and check out all the “winners,” in the gallery below.

The first car might be a little hard to take for you Mopar or Camaro fans, so consider yourself warned. Coming in #1,behold a Chrysler LX with a front clip from a 5th Gen Camaro. An unnatural union for sure, but the worst part are the hoopty rims, the mannequin, she-devil in the trunk and the philosophy where the video game/sound system overshadows the rest of the build. Yawn.

Coming in at #5 is a poor old Chevelle that got the off-road treatment. 4X4 conversions of classic muscle cars ain’t anything new and will probably always be a novelty build, albeit one that’ll take you up to the keggar on top of Cracker Mountain. But if this was a real Chevelle SS, let’s have a moment of silence for one of the fallen.

Finally, here’s one to clear the palette, so to speak. Coming in at #9 is a skinny little microvan from Chinese/Japanese joint venture, Suzuki-Changhe. This two tone pink cruiser is copping a retro VW micro bus look, right down to the V-shaped front end and Frisbee sized VW logo. Huh? The rims with heart shaped cut outs are icing on this kooky kustom cake. On the upside, you won’t be seeing this thing on our shores as Suzuki just folded up shop here in the US.

Its easy to pick apart somebody’s ride and poke fun, but at the end of the day, these folks finished their builds and got their butt to the show. So they all deserve a hand for showing up. Now, about those mint green 24’s on the #10 rated “Swagnum” Wagon, hmmmmm.
