ITEM 4.           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.  Not applicable.

ITEM 5.           INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.  Not applicable.

ITEM 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation  provides that a director of the
Company shall not be personally  liable to the  Corporation or its  stockholders
for  monetary  damages for breach of  fiduciary  duty as a director,  except for
liability for: (i) any breach of the  director's  duty of loyalty to the Company
or its  stockholders;  (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional  misconduct  or a knowing  violation  of law;  (iii)  liability  for
payments of dividends or stock  purchases or redemptions in violation of Section
174 of the Delaware General  Corporation Law; or (iv) any transaction from which
the director derived an improper  personal benefit.  In addition,  the Company's
Certificate  of  Incorporation  provides  that the Company  shall to the fullest
extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or
may hereafter be amended (but,  in the case of any such  amendment,  only to the
extent  that  such  amendment   permits  the   corporation  to  provide  broader
indemnification  rights than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior
to such  amendment),  indemnify  and hold  harmless  any  person who was or is a
party,  or is threatened  to be made a party to or is otherwise  involved in any
threatened,  pending or completed  action,  suit or  proceeding,  whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director or officer of the corporation,  or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director,  officer, employee or agent of another
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust or other enterprise,  including
service with respect to an employee  benefit plan  (hereinafter an "Indemnitee")
against expenses,  liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines, excise taxes or penalties paid in connection with the Employee Retirement
Income  Security  Act of 1974,  as  amended,  and  amounts  paid in  settlement)
reasonably  incurred or suffered by such  Indemnitee  in  connection  therewith;
provided, however, that except as otherwise provided with respect to proceedings
to enforce  rights to  indemnification,  the Company  shall  indemnify  any such
Indemnitee in connection  with a proceeding (or part thereof)  initiated by such
Indemnitee  only if such  proceeding or part thereof was authorized by the board
of directors of the Company. The Company has obtained insurance on behalf of its
directors and officers for any liability arising out of such person's actions in
such capacity.

         The Delaware General  Corporation Law provides that  indemnification is
permissible only when the director,  officer,  employee,  or agent acted in good
faith and in a manner  reasonably  believed  to be in or not opposed to the best
interests  of  the  Company,  and,  with  respect  to  any  criminal  action  or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause



UDC.33R:S-8

                                    Page - 3
<PAGE>



to believe the conduct was unlawful.  The Delaware General  Corporation Law also
precludes  indemnification in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which
an officer,  director,  employee, or agent shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the  Company  unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought  shall  determine  that,  despite
such adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and  reasonably  entitled to indemnity  for such  expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem  proper.

     In addition,  the Company has entered into and/or may enter into agreements
to indemnify certain of its directors and officers. These agreements may provide
broader indemnification rights than in the Certificate of Incorporation.  To the
extent that the Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Company may in the
future  wish  to  limit  or  repeal  the  ability  of  the  Company  to  provide
indemnification as set forth in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, such
repeal or  limitation  may not be  effective as to directors or officers who are
parties  to  any  indemnification   agreements  because  their  rights  to  full
protection  would be  contractually  assured  by such  agreements.  The  Company
believes that the indemnification provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation
and in any  indemnification  agreements  are  necessary  to  attract  and retain
qualified persons as directors and officers.

ITEM 7.           EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.  Not applicable.

ITEM 8.           EXHIBITS.  The Exhibit Index is located after the signature 
                  page on this document.

ITEM 9.           UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) To file,  during  any  period  in which  offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

               (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
          Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii) To reflect  in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising
          after the effective  date of the  registration  statement (or the most
          recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the  registration  statement.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  any
          increase  or decrease  in volume of  securities  offered (if the total
          dollar  value of  securities  offered  would not exceed that which was
          registered)  and  any  deviation  from  the  low  or  high  end of the
          estimated  maximum  offering  range  may be  reflected  in the form of
          prospectus  filed with the  Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
          the aggregate,  the changes in volume and price represent no more than
          20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
          the   "Calculation  of  Registration   Fee"  table  in  the  effective
          registration statement;

               (iii) To include any  material  information  with  respect to the
          plan of  distribution  not  previously  disclosed in the  registration
          statement  or  any  material   change  to  such   information  in  the
          registration  statement;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that paragraphs (i) and
          (ii) above do not apply if the registration  statement is on Form S-3,
          Form S-8, or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a
          post-effective  amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed with or furnished to the  Commission  by the  registrant
          pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
          of  1934  that  are  incorporated  by  reference  in the  registration
          statement.

     (2) That,  for purposes of determining  any liability  under the Securities
Act of 1933,  each  such  post-effective  amendment  shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

          (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
     determining  any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
     the  registrant's  annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d)
     of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,  each filing
     of an employee  benefit  plan's annual report  pursuant to section 15(d) of
     the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934) that is  incorporated by reference in
     the  registration  statement  shall  be  deemed  to be a  new  registration
     statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of
     such  securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the initial  bona fide
     offering thereof.

          (c)  Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under the
     Securities  Act of  1933  may  be  permitted  to  directors,  officers  and
     controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
     or otherwise,  the  registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the
     Securities and Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public
     policy as expressed in such Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the
     event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
     payment by the  registrant  of  expenses  incurred  or paid by a  director,
     officer or controlling  person of the registrant in the successful  defense
     of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
     controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,  the
     registrant  will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
     settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit  to  a  court  of  appropriate
     jurisdiction  the question  whether such  indemnification  by it is against
     public  policy as  expressed  in the Act and will be  governed by the final
     adjudication of such issue.

RE: UGLY DUCKLING CORPORATION 1998 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Ugly Duckling  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation
(the "Company"),  in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration  Statement")  filed under the Securities Act of 1933,  relating to
the  registration  of 800,000  shares of its Common Stock,  $.001 par value (the
"Shares"), issuable pursuant to the Company's 1998 Executive Incentive Plan (the
"Plan").

In that  connection,  we have examined such documents,  corporate  records,  and
other  instruments as we have deemed  necessary or  appropriate  for purposes of
this opinion,  including the Certificate of Incorporation,  as amended,  and the
Bylaws, as amended, of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and
sold in accordance  with the terms of the Plan,  will be validly  issued,  fully
paid, and nonassessable.

We hereby  consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the  Registration
Statement.

Very truly yours,



/s/ SNELL & WILMER L.L.P.








                                                                    Exhibit 23.1
