That's the Voxmobile, by George Barris if I'm not mistaken.

Not only does it drive, it's a mobile amplifier which supports 30 something guitars and has a built in organ.

Rock and Roll!

As you say!
You tought me something: I hadn't found what the car was, and you're right, I read the story. So the point is yours. It was commissioned by Vox, and not, as I believed, by the musician shown here (it's a record cover).
Why, by the way, does he hold a helmet in his hand? This is not very rock and roll... Do you know who he is?

He must be a very speedy purveyor of musical notes.

Point given to K5ING, and puzzle moved upward. One more point for this question:
Who is the guy photographed here with the Voxmobile?

Also featured in the crap-tastic 1968 Jack Nicholson / Susan Strasberg movie Psych-Out

Since I can't remember the 60s, it means I must have been there, right?

What innocent times. What beautiful concepts: love, peace rock & roll.

What happened? How did I become a cynical old man?

But I still love the music, although I use a Behringer amp for my bass.

The album cover that started it all...
