Classic Vehicles — and their owners too.

Andy Reid (Chief's NFL coach) told Chiefs.com (https://www.chiefs.com/video/andy-reid-talks-about-how-he-restored-his-father-s-ford-model-a) that his father bought a 1928 Ford Model A for $25 after World War II ended in 1945—“a late ’28, they call it. Henry Ford had to make a little transition with his brake system, so this is part of that transition.”

I like the 30s era in cars, and a model A is a good choice. There is good support for par5s and knowledge.

The car driven by Joe Walsh (the rock star) is the 1962 Maserati 5000 GT, a model of great exclusivity brought to life by the request of the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who asked Maserati to create a high-performance grand tourer.

The result was an exceptional automobile, featuring a 4.9-liter V8 engine derived from the brand's racing models and a body designed by the most prestigious Italian coachbuilders of the time, such as Touring, Pininfarina, and Ghia.

Is that his Maserati that does 185? When he lost his license and could not drive:cool:

This is what I found regarding Joe, but without details of what vehicle he was driving.

Joe Walsh's driver's license has been suspended multiple times. According to reports, his license was suspended twice due to failure to comply with Illinois traffic laws1. The first suspension occurred because he failed to appear in court on a traffic case, and the second suspension happened because he did not maintain the required high-risk car insurance.

From Wikipedia, there were only 34 made, and that includes several different body styles. There is no way that car went 185, but it rhymes that way, and it would have been fast enough to get a ticket or three.

After the first body by Touring, the main body partner since 1960 became Carrozzeria Allemano which made 22 cars, designed by Giovanni Michelotti. Other coachbuilders were as follows:


Pietro Frua - 3 cars
Carrozzeria Monterosa - 2 cars
Pininfarina (designed by Aldo Brovarone) - 1 car
Ghia (Sergio Sartorelli) - 1 car
Bertone (Giorgetto Giugiaro) - 1 car
Carrozzeria Touring - 2 more cars other than the initial 2 produced

Mr Garner did his own stunt driving on the Rockford Files. He was a better driver than the stunt drivers that were tried.
