Hot Rods WHERE ARE THEY NOW: CARS OF ROCK

We all gotta make a living and anywhere in the USA getting name recognition equals bucks even if you're already famous. I won't repeat what a traveling fur salesman told me at my hotel one night at the Street Rod Nationals in Tulsa in 78 coming back from Texas, needless to say he was sold out.

Springsteen; the boss

 

Paul McCartney's Anglia. Pretty normal on the outside, but the inside was pretty far out! Kinda reminded me of an oyster inside. It was given away after it was used in "Give my regards to Broad Street".

You are correct. Although, I think I took this last year.
Never made it into that building, this year, so I'm not positive if it's still there.

 

Jim Heath, aka The Reverend Horton Heat’s 1950 Shoebox Ford.

As stated before he’s coming to Woodstock, NY next month with The Blasters and Junior Brown, gonna be a great show.

Five years ago, I was in the States with my son and we went to the SoCal Speedshop to see that very car:


We saw another of Billy's fine cars:


This one featured in the video clip of the ZZ top song "Gotsta Get Paid":

 

Being a HUGE Rev fan I gotta dig this. I knew he had a Shoebox Ford but have never seen it. Thanks!
And if anyone wants to see a great band, I mean really put together, tight band...Go see The Reverend Horton Heat. They're fantastic!

 

Junior Brown ain't no slouch either!

 

I know that's right!! But I haven't had a chance to see him yet. I've seen RHH a dozen times or so. First time was with ZZ Top.

 

Not really a rock car but.....

 

The title says "Cars of Rock", not anything about it being a hot rod or even cool for that matter. I give you the Ramones.

 

Ronnie and the Daytona's goat.

 

Jimmy Vaughan

 

Gibbons, Beck and Vaughan

 

More Danny Gatton

 

Someone else likes Pintos besides me , ha ha

 

Very cool! That's a couple of pics of DG that I haven't seen before. The second shot... maybe of "Danny and The Fat Boys"? He's definitely wearing some "go to Hell" shoes there!

 

My High School was directly across the street from Gattons House.

Haycock Road, Falls Church Virginia

 

Another one he owned ......

Still have the 45 that my uncle gave me back in '71.... ☺️

 

Wonder what happened to both the coupe and Gran Prix.

 

Me on the harmonica , not a rock star nor is my car, enjoy all

 

I thought he was born in Anacostia, SE, Wash. DC and bought a house/farm in Newburg MD with some of his record money. Did the rest of the family move to Va.?
I know that Billy Hancock(one time band member) is/was a host of "American Music" a show that is based in Arlington Va.

 

The Ricky Nelson roadster count? From the tv show 'The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriett' Was at Jalopyrama this year.

 

the Cusey roadster as it sits today. always looking for pictures and info

 

There was also a neat 57 Chevy rag in the video from the title song.
