Art and cars #8 - Solved! Billy Gibbons and his numerous rods and customs
« on: January 19, 2009, 05:48:00 AM »
Who is he, and what car can he be associated with?

Art and cars. Painters, writers, musicians, actors, movie makers: in a nutshell, artists. Cars of special importance in their work, or in their life.
This one, being relatively easy, will be worth just 1 point. Tougher ones will be worth 2, one for the artist, one for the car.
Rule of this puzzle is: you identify the artist, you have one week to find the car. After that, the hunt is opened and anyone can rob you of your point.

If you haven't registered yet, you need to do so in order to reply with your answer.
Also, please be sure to check out our other puzzles, and, please post a puzzle of your own if you'd like - the more, the merrier.

Thanks!

It's not Toulouse-Lautrec if that's what you mean.
(I don't know what would be an artist "from the red light district").

Well, I cropped the picture, but I can assure you it's not his schlong he's holding, and he's got his pants on.

Now that we've established that he is wearing pants and is not a porn actor (I still wonder what went through Allemano's head), I can add that he has a profession whose members can be seen, relatively often, performing without their shirt.

But he himself lost that habit long ago.

No. But a stage performer too, although not only.

I know, I know, I've been accused to deprive experts of a chance to take a shot at some puzzles that I had moved directly to the Pro and Feature Writer section.

Well, here is their chance: I am moving back this one to the FREE FOR ALL section!

This man was primarily known as an "artist", but he is really into cars too, and I am sure you know some of his babies.

This puzzle is back on its tracks at last !

A musician for sure, but not a drummer. Drummer are not the only ones to sometimes play barechested.
Oh, and he lost that habit long ago. He plays much, much more covered now.

it's not Eric Burdon, but it's someone that you especially could think of.

With Hendrix? I don't think so. But you might follow the trail you've just found.
