Welcome to the Weekend Edition on Hooniverse, and I thought I’d start out with the results from an auction that was held a couple of weeks ago. As I wrote here on Hooniverse during the first weekend of March this year, a man named Larry A. Brown, who lived in Centre Hall Pennsylvania, had an…

Let’s continue on with the Weekend Edition with this lovely Jaguar XJ-6 from 1972, now offered for sale on Craigslist. We received this tip from Steve (Thanks,Man!) who exclaimed in his email: DO SO WANT!. Yes it is a very good looking Jag, and it is one of those rare pre-rubber bumper cars that looks…

Continuing on with our labor Day Weekend Edition, and look at what I discovered lurking close by (on Cape Cod no less)… This is a 1980 Plymouth Arrow Pickup, which was a badge engineered version of the Dodge D50 Pickup, which are both derived from the Mitsubishi Forte Pickup at the time. The Arrow Pickup…

Weekend Edition Quick Hit – A 1964 Studebaker Commander with a reported 8,800 miles on the Odometer!!!

Competition is what really killed off the Studebaker (Lark) Commander and Cruiser lines. This was suppose to be the bread and butter of the Studebaker Lineup, and while Brooks Stevens did a masterful job of updating the look of the volume Sedans and Wagons, the other domestic car makers were catching up rapidly with their…

Welcome to the Hooniverse Classic Captions Post, and it’s that time of the week in which this feature appears, so let’s review the premise; I search for images that were used by the car companies in their print advertising or brochures, and it is your job to provide a humorous caption that is some how…

Welcome to the Sunday Edition of the Hooniverse Weekend, and I am going to start with an unusual car based pickup that you don’t see a lot of anymore. This is a GMC Sprint, which is really nothing more than a Chevrolet El Camino with different identification. As I highlighted in one of my Obscure…

Welcome to a belated Hooniverse Weekend, and the only reason this is so late is because of the very heavy workload I seem to be under lately. I had to report to the office, and didn’t have any time to do a proper weekend of posting until now, so it will be a weekend of…

I hope you are enjoying Hooniverse Wagon Sunday, and our next wagon has a Sinister Look to it, even though it has a faded light blue paint scheme. The Plymouth Brand has always had their fair share of “Sinister” looking vehicles during the late 60’s and early 70’s, and I think this wagon carries on…

Many of our longtime fans here on the Hooniverse know my feelings about RestoMods, but every once in a while, I become enamored with a well executed modernized classic, like this one. This is a 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Stepside Pickup that has been highly modified, but not in the way that you imagined. No, there…

comments
Continuing on with the Sunday Edition of the Hooniverse Weekend, and I found a couple of Personal Luxury Coupes that straddle each end of the 1980’s; A 1979 Chrysler Cordoba (last of the original “B” Bodies), and a 1989 (MN12) Mercury Cougar with an aftermarket appearance package. These two very dissimilar cars were trying to…
