comments
Welcome to the Hooniverse Obscure Muscle Car Garage, a regular feature which aims to expand the notion of what a muscle car is, and to learn something new while doing so.

Continuing on with our Hooniverse Weekend Edition, and here are a couple of mid 80’s personal luxury cars that I spotted over at the Brougham Society Facebook Page (Yes, again…). This was at the crossroads of the 80’s design paradigm between traditional (Cutlass) and New Wave (Cougar) that appealed to the exact same audience. So…

Welcome to the Hooniverse Obscure Muscle Car Garage, a regular feature which aims to expand the notion of what a muscle car is, and to show that once and for all a full-sized car can be classified a performance machine. 1970 was quite a year for the performance car market, with more models available than…

Let us continue with the Labor Day Weekend Edition by checking out this 1981 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency Coupe. This was one of a dying breed, the full-sized 2-door. This was a little larger that the personal luxury cars that were then in production (The Chevrolet Monte Carlo, The Ford Thunderbird, the Chrysler Cordoba, and even…

It’s the Sunday Edition of the Hooniverse Weekend, and I feel like having something a little French… As in French Cars that are no longer available here in the States. Peugeot was the last French make to vacate this side of the pond in 1991, and though there has been discussions about re-entering the market,…

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 or truck companies in their print advertising or brochures, and it is your job to provide a humorous caption that is…

comments
Here on the Hooniverse we have featured a number of weird and wonderful creations, as well as a few that have been questionable at best. Well, here is a Ford Focus that has been turned into a Pickup Truck of some sort, and I’m really not sure how I feel about it. There are some…

Continuing on with our Weekend Edition, and I spotted this Isuzu Impulse listing on Craigslist, and immediately thought of one of the more offbeat advertising campaigns of the 1980’s, the one in which Comedian David Leisure became Joe Isuzu.
