Interesting....there is an Omega in my area that has a scoop very similar to that one. I wondered why just one side?

Asymmetric scoops were a thing back in the psychedelic sixties. Ideal for inline six engines, too.

Speaking of unusual hood configurations, I remember when the 1980 GM X-cars came out. There was a Citation at one of the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals that had a 4-71 blower sticking through the hood - sideways due to the transverse V6.
