Brougham Cutlass Supreme
July 1st, 2008Took this up in Vancouver, Canada on my walk through Yaletown. Every time I see one of these I can’t help but think of Cedric The Entertainer’s bit about the “Bro-Ham”. I think it’s Cedric. Or maybe it’s your mom.
Either way, sweet hoopty. o

LOL…I have to be honest, I never thought I’d hear mention of Cedric the Entertainer on this site! You’re full of surprises Jon
Btw, loving the shot - old school auto typography always says America to me. Very cool

First car I ever owned was a 1982 Jade Mist Brougham Cutlass Supreme.
And I bought it from my Mom.

My grandfather used to drive a Brigham Brougham. I never knew how to pronounce it but I was sure, at the time, that it rhymed with Young. Stupid Mormon brainwashing.

Was it a merlot Brougham?
I used to drive a gigantic 1985 Delta 88. I vaguely recall “Brougham” somewhere, but that might not have been in that car.

Love the UrbanDictionary.com of a Hoopty. it specifically mentions the Brogham.
“1. hoopty
Basically, a piece of shit car. Usually cheap and/or broken down. Can be any size, make or model, but must (or should) be embarrassing to drive for some reason, such as when you bump the stereo all the plastic “effects” you have hot-glued to the exterior rattle, instantly betraying the cheapness of your bling.
A hoopty can be anything from a ‘78 Cadillac Brogham with the panels missing in front of the brake lights (but replaced on only one side with duct tape), to a fine purple two-year old Hyundai Elantra with three spinner hubcaps and a vanity plate that reads BBY GRL.
The term has also been used in certain circles as an insult to one’s boy or girlfriend, as in scrub or hoochie mama.
1. Can you believe he be gettin’ all mad whenever somebody lean up against his old stupid hoopty.
2. I can see now you ain’t nothin’ but a hoopty. “

Hey Jon - A little off the subject, but could you put the dandelion sun picture up on Etsy? I’d love to buy it.

I can’t look at any “Supreme” vehicle without picturing them Taco Bell style…Tomatoes and sour cream.
