The Cars Are The Stars – Auto iMaGes

Posted on April 13, 2021October 3, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on The Cars Are The Stars – Auto iMaGes

Ever wondered about those two blurred beauties photographed in action on the covers of Love Song and Sons And Fascination (and no, I don’t mean Jim and Charlie. Lol)?

Well, I can tell you they are two 1960s American classic cars. One is a red 1969 Plymouth Sport Fury and the other is a black 1964 Cadillac Fleetwood. I think we can agree that these beauties are as much the stars of the cover art of these releases as much as Simple Minds are themselves, no?

You can read more about the Love Song/Sons And Fascination cover art by visiting the Dream Giver info page HERE

The YouTube clips below show the cars in their glory. Obviously not the EXACT ones on the covers, but the same makes and models. The cars aren’t the same colour but it’s such a fab/naff advert for the Plymouth and PETULA CLARK sings the blooming jingle! And just being able to hear the sound of the Cadillac engine – OMG…pure car p0rn!

Enjoy!

Thanks to MX for the additional information on the cars.
