Art & Inspiration Ultimate Rock & Roll Car

I was listening to a local Oldies Station this morning KEARTH 101 and they were talking about the Ultimate Rock & Roll Car. Here are some of the things people were saying..

61 Impala Bubbletop
32 Ford
Ford Cobra
1967 Camaro
Ford Mustang
1950 Merc

What Are your thoughts?

I am thinking the 1932 Ford Coupe of the Beach Boys Cover!

 

We'll have fun 'till daddy takes the t-bird away:

 

what year was the 409 in the Beach boys song?


...but i think the best HOT ROD song is HOT ROD Lincoln. making the ultimate rock and roll car a model A with a Lincoln motor.

 

She's real fine

 

So far all good ones...

 

Hot Rod Lincoln

 

Mazooma1, Couldnt agree with you more!!! Love that thing!

 

I am with this one also man all you have to do is listen to lyrics...

-COS

 

Hmmm, this one maybe?

 

Yeah, but would you rather have Commander Cody's 8 cylinder Lincoln motor or Charlie Ryan's original 12?

 

Whole lot a shakin' goin' on

 

Allen Collins (of Skynyrd fame) had a '32 Plymouth coupe that they recorded getting rubber in several gears for a song on the second Henry Paul Band album (Feel The Heat)... that's more rock n roll to me, you hear the car in the song. (Henry Paul was a founding member of The Outlaws).

 

Hot Rod Lincoln does it for me ...

Then there's that GREAT song that gets my blood flowing very time: 1965 GTO by the Amazing Royal Crowns

 

I recognize it's importance and place in history and it has a lot of styling cues I really dig, but overall that has to be one of the ugliest 32's ever built.

 

'81 Dodge Diplomat

 

Kassa's coupe in Blue

 

"my ss396"

 

65 black Lincoln w/ suicide doors. Was in a bar in Denver when the band mudhoney showed up in it.

 

I would say ripping down the highway in my '67 camaro listening to Bitchen Camaro by the Dead Milkmen.

 

"Rocket 88" by Jackie Brenston (fronting Ike Turner's band) is widely recognized by many rock n' roll historians as the 1st rock n' roll song.
the Rocket 88 is widely recognized as the 1st muscle car.
so i'm going to say


Rocket 88
Oldsmobile

 

I vote for a chopped Merc..

 

oooh... rocket 88. great song.

 

....'cept the Dead Milkmen were kinda pokin' fun at the typical Camaro owner....

 

Nope... still the UGLIEST custom rod ever created. Gary

 

Any cool car that was in a song back then. If not, it shouldn't be a candidate. So... Hot Rod Lincoln is my favorite. But I have NO idea what one looks like. Do you? My 409 would be the other toss-up winner. Gary

 

How about ZZ Tops 33 Ford, the Eliminator?

 

Oh no ... here we go again ... another "the AG coupe is ugly" type thread ... someone pass the popcorn.

btw ... I agree with T-Bone & gnichols

 

Here's the popcorn, now step a side please

First, what do we consider "Rock 'n' Roll"?
I *hope* we're talking about traditional Rock'n'Roll here, and not the Beattle-like crap from the mid-'60s.

IMO, the ultimate Rock'n'Roll-car has got to be a late '50s car, preferrably between '57 and '60.
Anything much newer just isn't right. Anything older, well only if it's 'rodded or customized in the late '50s style.

My list of ultimate Rock 'n' Roll cars; Almost any fullsize car from '57/'58...










... just to name a few.

 

Wouldn't that be the ultimate Blues-mobile?
