After reading a very short-lived music-based thread, I was inspired to start a game which may or may not fuse music and retro car pictures seamlessly, and hopefully be a bit of fun. Match the music to the car! Try posting up the music which you think of when you see a particular car. Here's some examples to give you a general idea. They don't have to be chained together like I've done, I just kept thinking of more associations! Bob Marley  goes with   But the Type 2  might also go with The Beach Boys  Which might remind you of these   If you like these, please post some more! |

70's Mercedes, like the W115... .jpg/799px-Mercedes_Benz_220_(W115).jpg) ...and the W116 S-Class...  are for me forever associated with the Kraftwerk albums of the time, especially Autobahn (and yes I know the car on the album cover is a W111 from the 60's but hey, blame Kraftwerk for that ;D)  Half of the people viewing this are thinking "Who the hell are Kraftwerk?"  |

 I know the colour's way off, but the Mini 1275GT wil, sadly, always be associated with Marc Bolan  |

Steve Earl: Sweet Little 66  Now I'm a pretty big man around this town I got me the hottest little Chevy around My sweet little '66 She got a yellow front fender and a gray one on the back But my income tax is comin' and I'm gonna paint her black Sweet little '66 She got the 396, she got the four on the floor And those stickers in the window ain't just for show My sweet little '66 Now old Bubba and me built her back in '79 Then he went into the army so now she's all mine Sweet little '66 I used to run her down on River Road and make a little dough Can't afford another ticket so I'm laying kinda low Me and my '66 Now she ain't too good on gasoline, she burns a little oil But she was built by union labor on American soil Sweet little '66 So when your Subaru is over and your Honda's history I'll be blastin' down some back road with my baby next to me In my sweet little 66 |

 This album always puts me in mind of a '55.  Mainly due to the lyrics in 'old white Lincoln'.. which doesn't remind me of any old White Lincolns, ironically. Oh and if you haven't listened to the above album, get off your  and do so. |
