As you may or may not know, I have been somewhat absent here at Hooniverse because I have been in a five way brawl trying to capture the Head Writers Position at (Redacted). So while trolling around for some newsworthy items from around the web, I came across this little gem from a site I…

Day one of my first auction experience is in the books and I wanted to send you folks an update. I will start by saying this – if you have the chance to attend an event like this…GO. Run, don’t walk to the car. Just get in and drive to an auction near you. The…

We love Cars and Coffee…you know this because you hear us mention it once a week. I wanted to give you further proof as to why it’s the greatest get-together on the planet. Before the storms came out to try and force California into the sea, our friend SVT2888 (aka Leo of CnCPics.com) captured this…

Carroll Shelby turns 87 today. There may be varying opinions out there about the man, but there is no question about the man’s ability to drive cars for other companies or to produce them for his own company. Here at Hooniverse we wanted to take second to wish you, Carroll Shelby, a happy 87th birthday.…

The Hooniverse Version of Disneyland

On a quiet side street in Van Nuys, California there sits a relatively unassuming house. Driving by you might see an unusual car or two parked in the u-shaped driveway, but nothing that would make you hit the brakes. What you wouldn’t see however, is that the side of the house leads back into an…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VSyO7PciLM&feature=channel[/youtube] The Ford GT is an awesome car and since I know for a fact that we have exactly two millions of hardcore Ford GT fans that visit this little website The Greatest Page In The Hooniverse, I figured I would sniff around for some footage to show how much I care. This video that…

Automotive Traveler: Chrysler Italianate Diversions, Part 5: Alfa Romeo 164

comments
This is the last part of this series that was first run in Automotive Traveler. However, it was a follow-up posting that was penned by the editor in chief, Richard Truesdell. Since he was more familiar with the subject than I was, it was a natural fit to end the series. It also tied in…

My Christmas present to myself this year was Forza 3. Been playing it quite a bit lately, sampling the various cars from around the world. Let me tell you, the selection is quite extensive and most of the great automakers from around the world are well-represented. You want to race an SRT-8 Charger? They have…

Automotive Traveler: Chrysler Italianate Diversions; Part4: Chrysler TC by Maserati
/
/
comments
This is part four in a series that I originally did for Automotive Traveler, and this time it’s not a Ghia, but the abortive Chrysler TC by Maserati. It turned out to be little more that an Italian built Chrysler LeBaron Convertible, on a modified K Car Chassis. Oh, but it could have been much…

Automotive Traveler: Chrysler Italianate Diversions, Part 3; The Ghia 450SS

One of the most frequently forgotten Ghia-Chrysler collaborations was possibly the best, and is the third part in a series I did for Automotive Traveler. As the sixties moved on, Chrysler continued its collaborations with Ghia, the best known the Chrysler Turbine Car program. Fifty bodies were manufactured in Italy for the program. After the…
