@frank It's a Western Models that I'd been wanting for some while but none of the copies really expressed the flash 'n' dash that I felt the original warranted. Then, as luck would have it, I found this hand-build from Western kit by a Russian craftsman. Thank-you for appreciating it, as indeed, I do.

From this progression you can really see where blues led to rock n roll and large fin Cadillacs! ❤️ 😎
@frank Hi Frank, here are a couple of earlier Jesse Belvin recordings - perhaps circa '55 - which I hope will be playable where you are, on the basis that the track earlier infringed RCA copyright control (?). Ohhh, and by way of an excuse to post Belvin, a 1957 Ford Fairlane by Minimarque.
Frank, Awesome thread and have bookmarked it for the music mit autos.
Here is my contribution after seeing John Lee Hooker sitting on the '53 Buick, a favorite. The Buicks might even be the same color?

Cheers and Happy Collecting,

@mg-harv Harv' I'm crazy over the Bobby Darin sound and have about 18 LPs of his - one of the rare instances of a white artist on a black label and the product is superb. I'm looking at your dumpster scenario and wonder if the significance is some hapless soul being poured into the foundations of a new freeway?
@charles-rockett Maybe if there were more to dispose of than a Caddy with a 'three-body trunk'.
@mg-harv 'Boot capacity' (does this translate in USA?) will never have the same, innocent meaning again.
