’65 Fleetwood Brougham Drops Anchor on Route 66, Needs a New Home
/
Remember when Cadillac built a vehicle that was taken just as seriously by this continent’s rich and famous as its foreign competition but wasn’t called Escalade? Me neither. However, Tomsk the Elder and I spotted this three-owner, large-and-in-charge barge Thursday while walking along the town’s northerly east-west artery (less than a mile west of the…

Modern Art Monday: StArt Wars; Images by the French On-Line Magazine Amusement.
/
We received this tip from one of our Hooniverse fans, Josh Roberts, and all I have to say is… WOW! The images are featured in a spread called StArt Wars, in which photographer Cédric Delsaux, with the help of 3-D artist Pierrick Gueneugue, melded photography taken in the United Arab Émirats, with Star Wars characters.…

Streetwalking: Willys Jeep Pickup!

This little beauty was parked outside my hotel recently, and I caught a few photos with my iPhone. I liked it so much, I went back with my good camera to get more shots.

What's Your Eleanor? – If You Have the Means Edition
/
The year was 1986 and a plucky young Matthew Broderick decided it was time for his high school student character to take a day off. Along with his girlfriend and depressing best bud, Ferris Bueller took the city of Chicago by storm. His chariot of choice that day? A gleaming red 1961 Ferrari 250 GT…

The American Muscle/Swarr Auto V6 Mustang Project Car
/
American Muscle and Swarr Auto have teamed up to turn their wrenches on an unlikely project car candidate. A 2005 V6 Mustang has received their attention. I can see the appeal in wanting to turn a V6 into something more exciting. I wish they went a little more on the sleeper side, but the results…

Smokin' Hot Italian Seeks Marriage to Stay in the States
/
Nicolas Sarkozy did it, and now so can you. Offered up on the Manhattan Craigslist is a not-for-U.S.-consumption Alfa Romeo 166. The 166 is Alfa’s big sedan, having replaced the 164 – which was sold here – in 1998. Powered by Alfa’s sweet, sweet 225-bhp 3.0-litre V6, this 2003 edition is knocking on your door…

A Lap of LeMans, in 1959, in a Jaguar. Bliss!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DulNn2tlTFs[/youtube] Once again, The Incomparable Mr. Scroggs has sent along a find from the Tube of You. Simply put, it is a trip around the Circuit de La Sarthe with Mike Hawthorn in a Jaguar D-type prior to the race. I’m not going to spoil it by commenting any further; but it is worth watching,…

Showdown: Dirt Wagon Edition
/
Over the weekend, UDMan pitted arch-rival Chevy and Ford pickups against one another, but it was more of a philosophical thing, what with no poll and all. It’s also roughly tied based on the comments. The last time we kept score, the Marlin turned the Barracuda to chum. This time around, we’re looking at the…

Hooniverse Asks- Did You Pass Your Driver's Test the First Time?

For a lot of us, our driver’s test may be but a vague memory. That right of passage, the first step on the road to adulthood, can be a freeing experience. It can also be an embarrassing nightmare.

You Can't Save Them All

I have a voracious ’78 International Scout Terra. Whereas most of my projects can subsist on a regular diet of morsels from the local parts store, this truck has had me sacrifice at least three others just like it to keep it on the road. My garage is my own Little Shop of Horrors, so…

Missed It: Bewinged 1973 Chevy Laguna Inspires TransAm Fantasies
/
Ever found yourself attracted to someone or something when you know you shouldn’t be? Such is this 1973 Chevy Chevelle Laguna. Not a particularly handsome body style, ridiculous yellow paint topped off with a ridiculous wing, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s probably how the fenders drape perfectly over the black steelies. Seriously, I…
