Lots more here on the same chassis:
http://cacklefest.com/Hoover.shtmlThe fishbowl name came about from....well, read it below:
"When the body was finally done the car went to Imperial Customs for paint. It was already somewhat notorious because of the "Fishbowl" deal. A magazine writer and photographer were doing a story on Hanna. He was doing this car at the time. There was an inset in the tail that would get wood grain. Hanna made the inset by cutting out teardrop shapes on each side and rolling them out a little. Then he fitted pieces back in, to make a flat area. The article was done while the teardrops were removed and the writer asked what these were for. Hanna, his usual playful self, said "Hoover is going to put an aquarium there with real fish" or the nearest equivalent. This explanation appeared in the article, hence "Fishbowl Car"."
Btw, to clarify, once Hoover put in the SOHC, that engine type stayed in the chassis until Hoover decided to switch back to a Chrysler Hemi for good.
