Thank-you Frank: big compliment coming from such an aficionado of both. I've jumped ahead a bit because all my 50s 'Yanks' are back in London and only have photos of them tightly packed in line. Hope you'll fill-in the gap.

Maybe Harvey or someone can add a 52 Caddy to the mix.  I got the song for it.

Cadillac Blues.

Brim recorded for several labels, including Chess Records. "Ice Cream Man" was recorded in 1953 but not released until 1969.

@charles-rockett great song for those dreamy machines.  I have the Nash Healy and my 53 Vette is from Franklin Mint (fit for a king)

Pretty amazing, all these match-ups guys. Your music knowledge compliments your model collecting hobby well.

I have an Album of Joe Williams on Roulette - A Man Ain't Supposed To Cry. It's modern late '50s / early '60s stuff - sort of shift jazz/ crooning. But I had no idea he had a history with the great Count Basie. Thanks for the post.

53 Studabaker (one of my favorites)

IMG 0682

Something a little different 🎶 for 53 Studabaker 

Steve Miller from 1970 in his lyric has his “… 53 Studabaker going for broke, pushing it night and day”.

@charles-rockett Love the Eldorado, one of the best Mini Marque models ever made. I have it in yellow.

I find my gaze just melts into this pistachio, I'm sure your yellow is equally alluring.  Minimarque did stunning models.
