Artist 1 is Beach Boys. Their song "Shut Down" mentions a fuel injected Corvette- Image M?

"Shut Down" is not in this puzzle.

That's not a Cadillac, and the song "Straight Eight" is not in this puzzle

C&tr10 is Irish crooner Val Doonican, stalwart of weekend television in the UK when I was younger. As well as his usual repertoire of smooth ballads, he sang several Irish comic songs, one of which was "O'Rafferty's Motor Car", which its owner had "made up of bits and pieces that he picked up here and there".

Inspired (if that's the word) by this ditty, someone called Myscha Aiken has produced the artwork shown at c&trK, which is called "Dinny O'Rafferty's Motor Car", and which includes elements from the song, not least the colour (40 shades of green), and the fact that two of the wheels were triangular, and the other two were from a pram and a tram.

My favourite bit of the picture is the radiator, but that's not specifically mentioned in the song.

And I think there's another Irish connection with The Dubliners (c&tr7), the song "Johnston's Motor Car", and the picture c&trI.

The song is based on a real event from 1920, when four members of the Irish Republican Army, needing to transport a concession of rifles to a meeting some way away, contrived to call out the local doctor, Henry Maturin Johnston, to see a patient. He was the only person in the area who had a car, and they ambushed him and commandeered it for their mission.

This would probably have been forgotten, had it not been made into a rebel song, "Dr Johnston's Motor Car", by Irish poet William Gillespie.The song was apparently quite popular in the 1920s.

It has had several recordings, the Dubliners' one first appearing (I think) on their 1973 album "Plain and Simple".

The picture at c&trI is Dr Johnston with the car which was taken by the IRA. Oddly, it's a two-seater, which would hardly seem ideal for moving four people and a load of guns, but I suppose they just had to use what was available...

c&tr4 are MC5 and L Barracuda, the song Thunder Express?
c&tr1 Beach Boys and M Corvette, the song In my car?

4 is the MC5. Thunder Express is somewhere in this puzzle, but the Barracuda (L) goes with another song

The song In My Car is not in this puzzle

The song Jigsaw is not in this puzzle

c&tr8 The Radiators has a song Low Rider which can be paired with CarD

pnegyesi · « **Reply #36 on:** August 12, 2012, 05:23:52 AM »

so c&tr4 is MC5 and the song Thunder Express is probably about the Chevy Corvette which is Car M. It is indeed
The car pictured is 1967 Corvette LS7 454 Guldstrand/Super Chevy Project Car

Yeah, those guys are all over the 'net. Mind sharing how you got this one?

This is the result of searching in the oddest places (like New Zealand) for Rock'n'roll, I've found this group a long ago. I have plenty pictures (HDD, books, magazines, vynil record albums and even memorabilia) of Rock'n'roll groups, for other purposes.

c&tr3 Jefferson Airplane and H Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Hertz, the song 3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds

I think we all should give Otto the highest respect because He spent a lot of time trying to put together always challenging puzzles like this.
I can't find a single match and it will take a lot of time to browse artists I'm not familiar with trying to recognize faces and then look into theyr production to see if there's a car like the one in the puzzle.
I must confess I'm astonished to see that our friend Oguerrerob from Venezuela has got a collection of Rock'n'Roll groups from New Zealand where He just found the answer of the thoughest match!
I have to confess also that I tried to use GIS on that picture and the 1st result is a page about them and you can access there from a bigger menu about "New Zealand Music of the 60's, 70's and a bit of 80's Artists L - Z"

Now, I'm no-one to say who's is cheating and I have no elements at all to say what is true or not.
I have to say that it's hard to believe what you wrote, Oguerrerob.
I'm sure you'll understand my concern (expecially if you'll knew how hard is to think-find-collect-post and maintain a group puzzle like this) and you will also be able to provide some more elements to support your incredible knowledge about New Zealand music!

This, of course is just MY opinion and we have to see what Otto is thinking about.

Grace Slick sure changed a lot since I last saw her!

If Orugerrerob has such a nice collection of vinyl records of NZ groups, let him offer us proof of his collection - photo the vinyls themselves and show them to us. Then all suspicions will be erased. Otherwise I'm with Otto on this one.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #48 on:** August 13, 2012, 08:24:50 AM »

Well guys, I respect and try to be respected. If my explanation is not good enough so to be considered full of crap.

Not Respected - Not welcome - See you

Oguerrerob ,
Not Respected - Not welcome - See you
I do not think anybody wants you to leave !!!

I myself have an old vinyl collection, few Stones posters, Doors, Michael Jackson, and a T-shirt of Hendrix from in the 60's which is in a frame with glass.

I must confess that I too searched my vinyl record collection ( 216 ),guess somewhat similiar to searching google images in a way>>and I am sure that my collection pales in comparison to yours.

I do not know Otto's reasons, but I highly value his opinions and well developed posts/puzzles, as yours and pnegyesi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hang around buddy.
With true respect to all,
John
