Classic Captions – '78 GMC Motorhome Edition

comments
Thanks to Monday’s national celebration of freedom, pyrotechnics and over-consumption, this week’s Classic Captions Contest has been moved to today. To change things up, here’s a very different type of image, looking out from the red velour interior of a ’78 GMC motorhome at a couple outside, gazing off-camera. This photo is probably more open…

False Neutral #19: It's A Small World After All

This week, it’s only Garrett and me, as “Eric T” (if that’s even his real name) is busy moving into a new home. We discuss my recent turn as a presenting judge at the Art of the Car Concours, which led to a couple of uncommonly coincidental connections. We go on to discuss some of…

Encyclopedia Hoonatica: Cars Named for Nobility and Royalty

I’ve noticed that people who believe in reincarnation and claim to have knowledge of past lives invariably identify themselves as having been Cleopatra or William the Conqueror. Nobody ever insists they were Oarman #12 on a Phoenician warship or an underage Whitechapel prostitute who died of syphilis. Despite the fact that the impoverished and ordinary…

This week’s episode was devoted to catching up. I had just returned from nine days in Alaska, and Garrett had also been traveling, so we hadn’t spoken in a while. Eric and Garrett each caught up on project bike maintenance. I had to catch up on the conversation after dropping into the conversation about ten…

It’s Monday, which means you could probably use a mental jog and a bit of fun to brighten your day. What can do both? Well, Hooniverse’s Classic Captions Contest, of course! This week, we have a sporty young lady posing court-side with her ’76 Dodge Aspen R/T, both wearing white with avocado accents. What clever…

Classic Captions – '54 Lincoln Edition

comments
This week’s old-timey ad image contains not one car, but three differently outfitted 1954 Lincolns, skillfully chosen to show the car’s multi-faceted something-or-other. Or perhaps, they just happened to parked next to each other. What the ad men wished to convey is immaterial, of course, because what we’re interested in is what you make of…

It’s an all-American episode in honor of Flag Day! Our Harley-riding Hooni-friend Wayne Moyer joins your three regular hosts for a spirited discussion of American bikes and the state of the American motorcycle industry. From Harley and Victory to Motus and Rokon, it’s a great episode — except for that unfortunate part when we lose…

comments
The third installment of the reconstituted Classic Captions Contest features a 1967 Chevy Nova, along with either a pair of very different twins, or perhaps two sides of the same woman’s personality. Which is it? That’s not up to me, but you. Provide a your explanation as to what’s afoot here in the comments. If…

[EDIT: Either I didn’t explain this very well, or my text is TL;DR. This question is about vehicles in which both the brand ownership and production packed up and moved from “Country A” to “Country B”. Hope this helps.] This past week, I had the opportunity to explain the convoluted — some may say tortured…
