Alexander O'Neal's ride is a '62 Studebaker GT Hawk, a car my xgf owned and helped rebuild the engine on. Amongst the most beautifully proportioned automobiles ever built.

If we can include a) singles not albums, and b) bikes not cars, here's Dumpy's Rusty Nuts riding their trusty hogs. Dumpy Dunnell himself (bottom left) is definitely astride his own machine as he used to ride it onstage too.

Double Nickels on the Dime, of course. Not just on the cover, the cars are on the album too.
