As far as good old American steel, Fu Manchu owns this thread

What is that? A Dodge something-or-other?

A Mercedes and a Camaro. True renaissance men.

It might be a Plymouth Roadrunner, though it could also be any number of ca. 1969 Dodge/Plymouth sedans, really

Cool. That pic makes me kinda nostalgiac. I used to have a '73 Dodge Dart. I fucking loved that car. But the timing belt broke. I was determined to fix it myself, because I relished the challenge, and also because at the time I was dirt poor and I wasn't about to take it into a mechanic. Sadly, the city towed the car before I could complete the project. I can't even remember why. No city sticker? Not moved in 7 days? Outstanding parking tickets? I can't even remember why those fuckers took my beloved Dart, but they did.

Hip-hop owns this thread nowadays (but that Roy Haynes one was fantastic).

It's killing me I can't find any of the posters and images of some Mexican bands in particular -- their images usually consist of dudes in cowboy hats and suave gear, guns and the biggest-ass pickups you've ever seen in your life.

Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure has a black limousine on the cover, but it's just visible on the back of the gatefold jacket, so posting the front won't be much good.

does a 12" record label featuring a lineart illustration of Camaro count?
