Ok we love the music - but what about those rides we all sing about. Which is the ultimate Garage Punk ride? My choice 59' De Ville:

There didn't appear to be any copywrite in posting these pics, however if they are yours and you don't want them posted let me know.

1966 GTO

1957 Chevy Bel-Air

60s Mustangs

Deuce Coupes

'32 Highboys

Hemi-powered rat rods

this is my impala, which frequently is used to carry band equipment/members/show go-ers, as well as being my daily driver. it is equipped with an 8 track player to play (and usually burn up) as many 8 track cassettes as will fit in my glove box.

Hey- I had a 64' t-bird for a while, similar to the one on page one-but hard top. Finest ride EVER, til it died (meaning needed more repairs than my college student ass could afford). So I sold it, cried, and moved on.

Incredible ride tho, had a 390 in it that, when hit just right, would take off like a hydrofoil. and it FLOATED. when you drove. Maroon paint with black leather interior, still miss it, but still couldn't afford to fix it up, so, as they say, I like to think its in a better place.

Damn I was gonna say the Mummies ambulance but you all beat me to it...

Okay...
here's one

Nice mini-van! Just kidding, that's a bad ass rat rod, exactly the car I want but can't afford. max wedge said:

I cant say Bacarooda

Here's mine: ('65 Plymouth Barracuda)

wow that's a big car!

Hey Mike thanks for your last post (I am sure we're all glad you did it) That's an assume story of "The Beast", surely the ultimate Garage Ride.

Sorry to suck all the air out of the room, but one more post from me.

This is currently owned by the Ghastly Ones who use it for all their gigs. Still has the original Monacles emblem on it. Here are some links about it: cool Monacles site As it looks today in the possesion of the Ghastly Ones

Cheers for the heads up on the Escapades photo (I knew I'd have got that one wrong)I assume that's a Mummies ambulance pic you have there (I'm having probs viewing some of these pics for some reason).

So far it looks like the hearse/ambulance is the thing for a real garage band, so I'm sticking with the '59 Coupe De Ville hearse as above.

Anyone else got any great ideas?

Tasty!

I'll take one in each color ! Oh, and that's a '58 Pontiac hearse or perhaps ambulance in that Escapades photo. Does anyone know what became of the Mummie's ambulance? Last time I saw it, John from Sympathy For The Record Industry owned it, but that was many years ago.

Best Garage ride? Well I'll take a test drive please!

My dad said every body he knew (his age) in the mid to late sixties had cars and trucks from the fifties and only a few teens had them so if you had one you were extra cool because of the ride, otherwise everybody had to borrow their dads car... Cool topic! -Earl

Not sure but that pic looks like it's a Caddy or an Edsel hearse (maybe completly wrong with that one). Great choice. That's a real cool Garage Punk ride!
