Rocket 88
Oldsmobile Rocket 88 - the 1949 version of this car is said by some to be the first muscle car, while the 1951 rhythm and blues tune about it is often called the first rock and roll song. The recording was credited to Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats, who were actually Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm. Listen here!
As far as the picture, I just couldn't resist all that fluted chrome and those wide whitewalls! : )
