It's used for emphasis. Instead of "That's an ugly car," it is easier to emphasize the word "one." That's one ugly car.

Hi,
Can you please explain this construction when people say "one ugly" followed by a noun, like "one ugly car" or "one ugly person"?
Is it just emphasizing of "ugly car" or "ugly person" or is there an additional meaning to it?
Thank you!
