LZFord Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 OK, well here are some of the, Cars of the song remains the same BTW: does anyone know where that white Andy Brizio panel that Bonham drov is today, same with the Red 27', and the dragster. I have also heard during early concerts zeppelin toured in Ford LTD's. Also I heard Bonham bought a Jaguar XK150 after the 1st contract with atlantic records. And i wish i could find a picture of this car, but back during the late sixties/early 70's there was a 1969 Pontiac GTO that raced at Detroit Dragway which was Red with a white hood and front bumper, and it had Zep written on the rear quarter panel.

Last I heard the Andy Brizio panel was owned by a private collector in England. Richard Cole (and numerous concert attendees) have confirmed they travelled in a panelled station wagon during their first North American tour.

LZFord Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Your Welcome for the link, and thanks for that info Steve. I also read online that bonham owned a 54' ford with a 427 big block in it. And This is kind of unrelated but here is my car. A 1970 Ford Maverick Pro Street. Its only a rolling chassis now. But when its finished I want it dark Metalflake red and to have Starship II to be written on the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your interested to know further details about the cars they owned in the 70s I could post more. The dragster John drove at Santa Pod Raceway was owned by Clive Coulson, but you probably knew that already. I do have some outtake photographs of Peter Grant receiving/driving another roadster which ultimately wasn't used in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZFord Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Oooh! please do so. I believe Grant's Pierce-Arrow in the film had a hood ornament in one scene and lost it the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHD Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Did Jimmy ever drive? No, I don't think so. I don't think he ever has learnt to drive (I'm sure someone will know the answer to that 100%!) I recently read an interview with Roger Daltrey, where he said he swapped his Jag for one of Bonzo's cars...I'm recalling this from memory and don't remember which one of John's cars it was...but Roger quipped "no wonder he swapped it, it was shit" or something along those lines!

SteveAJones Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Did Jimmy ever drive? It is generally stated Jimmy never drove, yet in 1988 he did tell 'Musician' magazine writer Charles M. Young he had lost his license at the time, and consequently was not mobile. Charles attempted to pry into why Jimmy lost his license but no answer was forthcoming. Regardless, he has had people to take him where he needs to go for decades. Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones has an extensive collection of classic automobiles, yet he too seldom (indeed if ever) drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what, let me dig those photos out this weekend and post them here. It very well may explain why that is the case, if indeed it is.

danelectro59 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm surprised they don't have a picture of the car that was broken down on the freeway when they were driving through the traffic jam. I think it was an Olds or Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Is this why Jimmy Page let Rock N' Roll be used in the Cadillac commercial? Because of their love of cars. They would not have licensed the use of their song to just any car company. Cadillac's have been directly associated with rock n' roll since the '50s, specifics of which I have posted elsewhere in this forum. It's unfortunate The Firm's song 'Cadillac' wasn't used. It may be obscure but the voice of Paul Rodgers certainly is not. Anyway, I was there when Robert Plant attended Cadillac's 100th Birthday Celebration at the GM World Headquarters (Aug 2002). He seemed genuinely thrilled to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aen27 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Those are nice pictures, Steve. I read that Jimmy wanted to get his licence while he was writing the Death Wish II soundtrack, but the day of his driving test, he made it sound like he had to finish the soundtrack instead.
