Hoffameister Kink window design became fashionable among wealthy…um… “businessmen” during the early 1970’s

The remains of Jimmy Hoffameister, a well-known union leader who 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 outside Coachella, California, say investigators.

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 rival’s forehead.  The design later became known as the Hoffameister Kink.  

Police believe the remains were unearthed by a famished chuckwalla or desert tortoise.
