Each year for All Hallows’ Eve, we dress up our long-term test car for trunk-or-treat duty in a car-stume tailored to a trend or topic relevant to that year. Two years ago, we transformed our 2016 Volvo XC90 SUV into Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon in honor of our hometown baseball team’s World Series success. Last year, our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica became Heath Ledger’s Joker from “The Dark Knight” in response to the scary-clown craze conspicuously coinciding with when the massively popular film version of Stephen King’s “It” was infecting the nation with a collective case of coulrophobia.
