Dear olog,
re:
“In his socialist utopia, the hotrods and luxury cars he mentioned in various songs of his would never have been built. He would have been lucky to have had a two-stroke two-cylinder Trabi.”
‘His’ who? ‘hot rods and luxury cars’? ‘Hot rods’ is an American 1950’s term, so I do not know who you infer.
The song “Ramrod” apparently is about a 1932 Ford that has been re-engined with a Chrysler Hemi taken out of a Plymouth Roadrunner.
“Pink Cadillac” is of course obvious.
I did err in omitting the muscle cars though, which “Racing In The Streets” describes (all big-block Chevy power).
