ORION CAR AUDIO BUICK Troy Trepanier’s Bumongous at 1993 USAC FINALS

Imagine images being stuck on a VHS 📼 cassette for 30 years! That’s what we have here. 1993-2023. Never before uploaded images of Troy Trepanier’s “Bumongous” Buick. Affectionately known as the face of ORION car audio and featured in most of the original ORION CAR AUDIO “ATTITUDE” marketing campaigns. Truly one of the most Iconic Car Audio vehicles ever built. Thanks to David Gallimore for the fantastic footage!

"Car Craft" Baddest Car of the Year, Hot Rod top 10. Went to Germany and back, Taco Bell commercial. "Hot Rod" magazine cover car. This Tangerine and Wineberry custom changed the way that customs were built for many years to follow. This car was part of the prestigious Johnny Lightning collection for many years. Bumongous is one of the best known Hot Rods today and draws an immediate crowd where ever it goes.”

There was a tv spot for this car in the early 90s. If I remember correctly, it was a detail of the build. Do you know where to find it? I would love to watch it again.
