Another great is gone. For those who didn't know he was a true gearhead (petrolhead in England). He just worked with Ozzy on his new album this past year too.

The THX 138 licensed car is from the movie American Graffiti.

He made an impression on my generation too.

EDIT: As a matter of fact, this game drew my attention to G-bodies. This song was probably playing as I started to dream of turbo Buicks.

Rod Stewart was also the lead singer in the Jeff Beck Group. Jeff Beck was a notable gearhead and one my guitar heroes in the Yardbirds.

MILNER'S '32 coupe? ?!? That car has an interesting history. https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/american-graffiti-deuce-coupe/ I think Beck's is a clone because the original had been making tours with Paul Le Mat. I even found a site selling clones. But this article asked that very question near the end. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/where-is-the-john-milner-coupe-at-now.74838/

Mark,
I remember seeing one of the clones at Disney World in front of the Mel's Diner recreation.

Jack it's probably one of the nicest examples of a '32 deuce coupe. I would have gone with a Ford 289 hi-po or a flathead but I like the engine to match the model.
