Top 5 Rock Star Super Cars
At Painters Collision Centers, with two locations in Arizona, we love cars and
we love rock music. Whatever you drive or listen to, rock and roll and cars have
been connected in multiple ways for many years. So, here is our list of Top 5
Rock Star Super Cars:
1.) John Lennon’s Psychedelic Rolls Royce: Lennon was torn and this car is
a perfect example of that. How paradoxical is it to paint your vehicle in a free
loving, psychedelic hippy way, but then make it a Rolls Royce? In a way, this
was Lennon’s way of flipping off society, by saying hey–I can own this
expensive luxury car, but I’m going to paint it with a peace message because I
can.
2.) Van Halen’s “Hot For Teacher” Car: If it wasn’t tawdry enough to
commission a garish yellow hot rod with additional room in the back for
additional groupies, Van Halen went and put the name of their single on the
side of this vehicle. Sure, it was tacky, but I don’t think Eddie Van Halen or
David Lee Roth really cared about what people thought about this rebellious
band.
3.) The Monkeemobile: The Monkeemobile: Cool TV and movie car designer
Dean Jeffries built the Monkeemobile back in 1966, but it still looks awesome
today. He took two Pontiac GTO convertibles for this project, because the car
manufacturer was sponsoring Monkees TV show. It’s a fake vehicle that was
made for a fake band, but everything was crazy like that in the groovy ‘60s.
4.) ZZ Top’s Eliminator: ZZ Top built pretty much the fundamental hot rod for
a generation with this sleek and sexy ride. With blinding chrome and the tasty
candy apple red paint, blondes caught everyone’s attention as they stepped out
of the vehicle in every video they produced. Today, it’s still a major start
appearing in car shows all over the planet.
5.) Elton John’s Golf Cart: While this isn’t actually an automobile, it surely
deserves a mention here. Undoubtedly every time Elton John stepped into this
amazing creation, he was already wearing ridiculously large hats and
sunglasses. Just to be very certain that everyone knew this it was Elton John
when he drove by in A pure gold golf cart, he added some bells and whistles to
eliminate any doubt.
