In 1979, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons was "... rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel..." in I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide. Now, 28 years later, certified custom-car nut Gibbons can literally roll down the road.

Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see how it would be steered.

This is a real sculpture by Lars-Erik Fisk installed in Berkshire Botanical Garden. Google helps from this point on.

Any ZZ Top fan would know that story's bogus - Billy Gibbons drives American steel.

Yes, the pictures seem to come from this album, taken in Summer 2001, although there's not a lot more information about the person who took them. It's just a family album.

I was excited for a moment when I went to their home page and saw an album called "SLC", but I think it means Salt Lake City... no reason to think they post here!
