The ATL-98 Carvair would take the cake for me.

The Carvair was my very close second. It was designed to ferry passengers and their cars from the UK accross the channel to continental Europe.

It's a conversion of the DC-4 and there were still 2 Carvairs in service as of 2002. (Information courtesy of Gerard Frawley).

The Super Guppy and the Beluga are my picks.

The Russians made an art form out of designing ugly aeroplanes.
