Cars & Tunes #4 - Solved by Aaron65, Ray B., pnegyesi, Tom_I and barrett

[Aaron65]

Wow, one to go!  Does Song 1 have "Spin" in it?

[Otto Puzzell]

No Spin

[Ray B.]

Can Grisman somehow be tied to David Bowie? Was he once a security guard?

Sorry, teach'. This puzzle kind of fried my brain

[Otto Puzzell]

How silly would I have looked if he was a security guard at the Bowie mansion?

[Aaron65]

Does Song 1 have "Track" in it???

[Otto Puzzell]

No. Time for a big ol' clue:

This artist's pic and the matching car song pic, are both stills, lifted from a movie.

[Ray B.]

Does the picture for Song 1 come from Red Line 7000?

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir.

[Otto Puzzell]

Cars & Tunes #5 is waiting in the wings

[Aaron65]

Is Annette Funicello in the movie?

[Otto Puzzell]

She is not

[Aaron65]

Is it "The Speed Lovers" by Billy Lee Riley???

[Aaron65]

That's the one!  I think the puzzle is finally solved!!!   Sorry to be so bold Otto, but I found that exact picture...

[Otto Puzzell]

I'll do you one better, and post the video.

And the trailer...

I'll tally up the points tomorrow. Nicely done, all!

[Ray B.]

I wasn't so far, because The Speed Lovers makes great use of stock footage for the race sequences, including much from Red Line 7000. If I'm right, the footage of Fred Lorenzen Lafayette Ford N° 28 comes from there. Red Line 7000 also features the Atlanta Raceway (as, I believe the picture that you used). So this shot may indeed come from the Howard Hawks movie.

[Otto Puzzell]

Fair enough, ray. You are the king of the car movies (and it sure would be cool to have another of you movie puzzles).

May this puzzle be long remembered as the puzzle in which Tom_I scored with a transvestite.

[Tom_I]

May this puzzle be long remembered as the puzzle in which Tom_I scored with a transvestite. 

That's certainly how I'll remember it.


An epic puzzle - thanks Otto!

[pnegyesi]

Thanks for this puzzle, it broadened my music horizon

[Ray B.]

It surely did that to mine too (and eve my car movies horizon, becaéuse I didn't know The Speed lovers.
Wasn't his one the toughest of them all?
... Maybe, but not if you think that all you had to find were song titles. In others by Otto, the answer hid amidst the lyrics.
