Junkman Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I don't have any pictures.... but the "Mono-chromatic" fad came about mid 80's. That was the time when someone would paint EVERYTHING on the outside of the car the same color including wiper arms, bumpers, grill and anything normally chrome. Didn't matter if the part moved or held still... the guys would paint it body color. I personally loved it, but that fad only lasted a few years.... or until the paint started chipping off the wiper arms. Whichever came first. Yesss! I remember that, it coincided with me reaching driving age. Even the most luxurious cars couldn't escape that fad: Edited September 23, 2011 by Junkman
Junkman Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Worse than the SUV fad (to me anyway) are all these crew cab trucks with four-foot-long beds. What's the point? You clearly are more worried about passenger carrying capability than cargo space... so buy a sedan! This only applies to the short/short bed crew cabs, crew cabs with regular 'short' beds and long beds actually make sense to me. Yeah, I was wondering myself. Especially here in England. That four-door Nissan Animal sold like its going to be illegal soon over here. Must be for families who love wet luggage or a lot of rubbish tossed into their pick up bed by passers by. And you are right, the other ones do make sense - they are just trucks.

When I see one with a tonneau I think "why didn't you just buy a sedan?". When I see one with a topper I think "Why didn't you just buy an SUV?" Maybe it's a 'want over need' kind of thing, I guess.
Lunajammer Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Along Junkman's theme, the Bradley GT. Every town had one for about two minutes.
Junkman Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Surf Woodys. Generally nothing wrong with that, but you could see them in places like Kansas City. Edited September 23, 2011 by Junkman
Junkman Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Baja Bugs. This one being as far away from the next desert as you can possibly get on this planet.
Junkman Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Jacked up Camaros on Centerlines with something poking through a hole in the bonnet: Gosh, where did they all go?
Junkman Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Pink 59 Cadillacs. Only after most of them were restored the second time, you realized that they can be painted in other colours too. Edited September 23, 2011 by Junkman
Jairus Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Jacked up Camaros on Centerlines with something poking through a hole in the bonnet: Hmmmm... bad taste is not really a 'Fad' or a 'Trend'.
Junkman Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Fluffy dice. Nodding dogs. Jacked up Camaros on Centerlines with something poking through a hole in the bonnet: Gosh, where did they all go? Hmmmm... bad taste is not really a 'Fad' or a 'Trend'. It certainly was a fad in Europe. Not one of them seems to have escaped the treatment. Edited September 23, 2011 by Junkman
Roadkill2525 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 The bosozoku cars that derive their looks from to old GT cars.
Sixx Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 What about pro-street?? Or those stupid " cry-baby " dolls some people would put around their cars at a show?
Chuck Most Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Today we're in the thick of the ProTouring/Restomod trend-
Chuck Most Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Somebody said pro street. Here's an extreme example-
Junkman Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 The bosozoku cars that derive their looks from to old GT cars. I thought those are granchans and these are bosozokus: Bosozoku vans:
Roadkill2525 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I thought those are granchans and these are bosozokus: Those are based of the Silhouette era cars but both styles are of bosozoku, I believe the older ones my be considered another style also.
Greg Myers Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 and this style ? How much stuff can we load it up with ?
