Whoa... I've never heard this song before (radio stations never play anything but the 5 highest rated songs from any group, it seems) but the video is just as cool as the lyrics! Thank you Raymond G!

this is the Tarf  made by Piero Taruffi before the tails were added

is what it looks like with good photography instead of very low early video recordings

and the Rolligon! 

"I'm In Love With My Car"

The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a-pumpin'
And the hubcaps all gleam

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
It's like a disease son

I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks sayin' this is the end now
Cars don't talk back they're just four-wheeled friends now

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run-of-the-mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car
(Ooh, I'm in love with my car)
Gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car
(Ooh, I'm in love with my car)
String-back gloves in my automolove!

If you don't recall the post about the Albee Rolligon https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2020/01/finally-new-photos-of-albee-rolligon.html  

William Albee returned to California, and in 1951, began working on a modern adaption of the Eskimo bags. He designed bag-like tires made from nylon impregnated with rubber, that were very flexible. They deformed easily but did not expand.

After many consultations, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company agreed to manufacture them according to plans designed by Albee. Eventually, Albee founded the “Albee Rolligon Company” and began producing vehicles fitted with low pressure tires.

 Later, with the help of the U.S. Army, Albee’s company released a Jeep, a Reo truck and a Dodge Power Wagon, all equipped with Rolligons. The final creation was a 7-ton off-highway transporter, the “Albee Rolligon”

photos from 1961/1962 of the Sno-Cat 843 which was designed to fit in a C-130. The "Rolli-Trailer" carried fuel in the tires.

The photo with mountains in the background was taken near the Merrick Mountains named by the US-ACAN for Conrad G. Merrick, USGS topographic engineer with the Antarctic Peninsula Traverse Party, 1961–1962, who participated in the survey of these mountains. 

He was Dan's dad!

 thank you Dan!

the only guy I have ever heard of that has a mountain range named after him. 

He was the navigator/topographer on the 1961-1962 Antarctic Peninsula Traverse, and he used a theodolite for star shots in order to determine position.

Finally, new photos of the Albee Rolligon, with the Rolligon low pressure Air Bag tires inspired by Inuit who used airtight seal skin bags to move a heavy boat

I haven't had anything new to post on the Rolligon in years
