DESIGNER OF FAMOUS HOFFAMEISTER KINK DISAPPEARED NEARLY 40 YEARS AGO
The remains of Jimmy Hoffameister, who started out as a union leader but later became famous for designing the Hoffameister Kink, a styling element that became de rigueur among owners of early 70's limousines, were discovered yesterday near a desert highway rest stop near Coachella, California.

| Hoffameister Kink limo window design became fashionable among wealthy "businessmen" in the early 1970's. |
Hoffameister disappeared in 1975, three years after he allegedly used a barbecue fork to etch an idea he had for a car window design into a competitor's forehead. The design later became known as the Hoffameister Kink.
Police believe the remains were unearthed by either a hungry chuckwalla or desert tortoise.
