I was playing "A Night at the Opera" by Queen the other night, and the song "I'm in Love with My Car" inspired today's series. A snip from the lyrics:
The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin'
Аnd the hubcaps all gleam
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin'
Аnd the hubcaps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
Аll I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
Oooh, it's like a disease, son
Аll I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
Oooh, it's like a disease, son
I'm in love with my car
Got a feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy-racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
Got a feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy-racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
Great link for today's series, Jerry. This is a good looking guy with an impressive gear stick.

Queen should have used the gear stick in the lyrics. Missed opportunity.
DeleteThis is a great image. I did a little restoration on it, and plan to colorize it later.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it. Have fun!
DeleteCould it be one of Bruce Bellas photos from early in his career?
ReplyDeleteI think the car dates it well into Bruce's career, but I could be wrong. I've been wrong lots of times.
