Art and cars #22 - Solved! John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls-Royce
« on: May 12, 2009, 04:03:39 PM »


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.
I know, these kiddie photos are not very fair-play, but this is a 2 points puzzle.
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!

Communist? Not quite, really. Leader? Certainly, in a way. Musician? Definitely.

The school cap doesn't match those of the schools he attended, but that is so like John Lennon's face.  If it were, that would lead one to the Mercedes 600 Pullman, but the cap don't fit.

Well, even if he borrowed this schoolcap from a buddy, it IS John Lennon, and I am amazed by your knowledge of both the Beatles trivia and british schools.
The car I had in mind is not the Mercedes, though, but one that's been much more talked about at the time, as far as I know.

He sure looks like John Lennon to me, who I usually associate with his pschycadelic Rolls-Royce Phantom, although he did have a Merc-Benz 600, plus a Radford Mini De Ville.

It was the Rolls, yes. Thanks for the picture of the car, Djetset. But you didn't read the puzzle right:
This was locked for max one week and you shouldn't have answered until then. So the points are his. And he wasn't wrong with that Mercedes.

No problem, I hadn't spotted that the puzzle was locked.

It happens. Sorry for you. I usually write it in the first post of all my Art and Car Puzzles, or the group puzzles where matches are required, but many puzzlers don't read it too carefully.
