/
Continuing on with our 1988 Weekend, and here is a low mileage 1st generation Acura Legend, the car that started the Japanese Luxury Car invasion.

Weekend Edition – A 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe; Can this car really be called an Antique?
/
Welcome to the Sunday Edition of the Hooniverse Weekend. I thought I would continue with cars from 1988 that are for sale on the Bay that is E, because the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) now classifies cars and trucks built during the 1988 model year (and before) as antiques, and would be eligible…

On the set of "On the Road"

Wandering around old Montreal in November of 2010 after enjoying some poutine, I inadvertently stumbled on to the set of On The Road. In the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s novel, which opened on December 21, the historic part of Montreal stands in for New York City of the 1940s with its old art deco…

According to the American Antique Car Association, anything produced during the model year 1988 (and before) now qualifies as an antique, and it is eligible to be judged at AACA shows and functions.

I figure, if you’re going to build a pit scooter out of a Segway, why not doing with a little class. . . Image: [©2013 Robert Emslie, All Rights Reserved]

V.I.S.I.T. – First Generation Honda Accord LX
/
Not quite what you picture when someone says Honda Accord, is it? Don’t worry, this isn’t what I picture either, and I don’t even know what the modern Accord looks like anymore now that I think about it. Before the Accord became the Accord that we all know and love (uhh, right?), the Honda Accord…

Citroen XM, An American Road Trip
/
A couple of years ago weeks ago, a car nut friend asked me if I was interested in going to Portland to pick up and drive down a 1991 Citroen XM he had just bought. I don’t need to tell you my answer.

R.A-S.H: The Oldsmobile Toronado Troféo
/
With my first instalment in this series notching up so many page-views you’d think it featured Amber Heard getting up to shenanigans while wearing the wispiest of garments, it’s time for another slice of glossily laminated nostalgia. I want to keep things relatively level in terms of Pan-Atlantic balance, so this week I offer you…

Mystery Car
/
Oh man, it looks like the new year is getting off to a rough start, last week’s Mystery Car being a particularly vexing contender. Sporty88au finally hit the mark on Sunday, but if you don’t want to turn back the pages of time, the answer is after the jump. Before that’s revealed however, you need…

V.I.S.I.T. – Mercedes-Benz 230S W111
/
Now here’s a classic Benz one doesn’t see every day, the 230S W111 “tailfin,” or heckflosse, built between 1959 and 1965. Even this very dramatic and very American design feature, Mercedes managed to pull off in a very understated manner. As in: okay, we’ll give you a small tailfin… but the rest of the car…

Hooniverse Asks- What Automotive Era Had the Coolest Colors?
/
One of the urban legends that even non-car people usually know is that Henry Ford offered the Model T in any color the customer wanted, as long as it was black. Truth be told, the Model T had been in production for six years – and available in a number of colors – before the…

Thema Thursday – For Sale: Tuned Lancia Thema 8.32 by Ferrari
/
The 8.32. Just like the eponymous vanity plates seem to note, every Euro-oriented car geek has heard of this V8 super saloon at least once. Depending of who’s talking, it’s either the ultimate Q-Ship, a four-door Ferrari, or the weirdest bit of manufacturer DNA trickle ever. To recap it all, the Lancia Thema is one…
