A variation on previous 'cars and tunes' puzzles. In this case, to earn points, you need to tell me which pictures go together in pairs, and why. Only answers that identify the correct pairing will earn points. So, don't just shout out the subject of one or more of the pictures.
Enjoy!
#1 is the group Bachman Turner Overdrive and F is an overdrive unit.
#5 is a Norwegian band called The Carburettors and B is a pair of carburettors.

Two-for-two
Well done!
I suppose that one of these bands calls itself The Fins (to be matched with #D). I have no idea which one.
And that another calls itself The Phaetons (to be matched with #E). Let's try #4.

The band's name is a bit longer than just "Fins"

Not the Phaetons

The Mojo Fins? (Band #6)
Nope - the name corresponds to a term used almost universally to define the automotive styling feature you're guessing at.
Alright: Band #4, The Tailfins, corresponds with picture #D, Cadillac tail fins.
They are even cuter with their black and yellow suits.
:lmao:
That's them, all right.
This one has stalled, so, open to all.
I'll give this one a blatant stab with a complete lack of research. Band #6--Steel Wheels (A)
It's a miss! (Also not Steeler's Weel)
Group #3 is Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, which would match with C, the selection of Chevy/GMC wheels and trims.

That's Mitch and company, but not matched to the wheels and trim.
Is the match with the wheels at A then, or am I missing something?
Yes - A is a picture of Detroit wheels, manufactured by Kelsey-Hayes, a loooooong time ago.
Is Pic E supposed to be "The Cardinals?"
No sir.

The band associated with this picture required a loose interpretation of that image. The rest of these are what I would call "say what you see".
men without hats? ;D
Clever lad. I meant the parts. ;D
Time to cap this one off, in the Black Hole.
Ah...Otto, is this one of your plays on words? I've been thinking C was "The Hubcaps." Is this right?
You're on the right path, but not quite there.
Lugnuts?
Getting colder.
Return to the path you left, adjust the quantity, and add some other parts. 8)
Band 2/Letter C--Hubb Kapp and the Wheels
Obviously, Letter C is a picture of some Chevy/GMC truck hubcaps and wheels.
Does Band 6 have "Touring" or "Tourer" in the title?
No, it doesn't. There name includes a place, and a thing, the juxtaposition of which is subtly suggested by one of the other pictures. .
Hmmmm. Does the band have "turntable" in the title...BTW, was my reply #26 correct?

They look more like bishops to me.
You said that band #4 wasn't the Phaetons.
allright. There's only #6 left.
Now, about Part #E. Is there "parade" in the name you're looking for?

Nope

No
When you finally hit upon the answer, I want you to give me a Hail Mary, two Our Father's and one Act of Contrition.
I've been chasing this one for weeks, but picked up a clue at last! ;D
The band is called Dashboard Confessional.
That's it!
I'll tally the points on the morrow.
Congratulations, Tom!

By the way, did a recent broadcast on PBS help with this answer? Just curious.
Actually no! Just a little messing around with search words. That lead guy in the front has some crazy hair! Am I wrong in saying that these guys are kind of a New Zealand "Sha Na Na?"
They are from Arizona, and started as a parody bit on a kid's TV show that later became The Wallace and Ladmo Show. Their 15 seconds of fame landed them on some regional charts, and on Steve Allen's TV show.

I was quite surprised to see them on an episode of the PBS series Pioneers of Television that I had recorded on DVR.
