Welcome to the Revised (yet again) Hooniverse Classic Captions Post. This is a series of postings that are set to go off around this time almost every Tuesday (when I’m able to produce these postings), so let’s review the premise; I search for images that were used by the car companies in their print advertising or brochures, and it is your job to provide a humorous, snarky, or thought provoking caption that is some how tied in with the image. I’m really into this type of imagery (Women posing in strange positions in flowing Dresses) so see if you can come up with a clever caption for this astonishing image.
Last time, we had an image of an underwhelming Band standing with a customized Honda Civic, and you guys tried to come up with an appropriate caption, which wasn’t easy at all.
It seemed that Alff (Yes, again!) was on fire with his great caption that went like this: “Three years after their fame peaked, The Icy Hot Stuntaz still weren’t very cool”. He seems to always be in the hunt when it comes to the Caption Contest, and it was so close this time.
However it was the musings of Number_Six that was the winner this time with the following caption: “Christian rockers Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Goran had very little success in the street-racing world with their dove-themed, mostly-stock Civic coupe. Removing the nitrous because “David didn’t use a MAC-10 to bring down Goliath” was just one of their many errors in judgement that year.” Very nice tie in Number_Six!
It’s now time to take a look at this weeks illustration. This is an period image for the DKW 3=6 Sedan built between 1957 and 1959. This was one of the gaggle of German Cars that seemed to be prolific around this time period, with a 2-Stroke power plant, and unusual styling. This particular image looks like it was taken stateside because you can see the vintage yellow California plates on the car. Posing with the car are two attractive German models in period correct “Cocktail Dresses”, although I really have no idea why this is appropriate. So what do you think is the tie in between this vintage car and these two dazzling beauties? you have the next 5 days to dazzle me with all the brilliance that I know our fans truly have.

The editors will deliberate entries, and after combing through vintage fashion magazines we will pronounce a winner. So, get to work and create you’re own caption for this thought provoking image.
