I would think most candidates would be from under No. 50. This is perhaps not fair to the early models, especially ones made in John Hall's residence, since Brooklin has consistently improved over the years. But I was wondering which really missed the mark.

While perhaps not the worst, the No. 9 1940 Ford van is on the list. The hood is too narrow, maybe a bit long too. Place one next to the Design Studio 1940 Ford and the differences are clearly apparent.

To me the worst model is the recently 1960 Pontiac Catalina sedan 4 door in yellow... All wrong in any angle unfortunately.

The CTCS Meteor ( red convertible) was absolutely phoned in.  It resembles a blob. It's the worst IMO.

I didn't buy this one nor the 1960 Cadillac because they just didn't look right.
