I do.....lol. Looks to me like a vintage pic on the back of the mag, and not a current photoshoot made to look vintage?

Yes, they feature one old photo from an old Car Craft issue every month.

Like the car, but call me an old man ...BUT...I do not consider that music.. Music to me is played by musicians,like band members who can actually play an instrument?<> Not just dance around with stupid attitude... SO yes, car cool, video/"music" sucks....yes...my 13 yr old daaughter calls me an old man.. at least she likes country and old beatles/british rock n roll... thank god for that...think I would be ready to jump off a bridge if I had to hear that junk playing in my house.....and man-boy justin is from my town... sort of embarrassed of this, Elvis is rolling in his grave...lol

while I absolutely do agree with you, the music industry has changed and, though in a sense of course always was, has become extremely commercial. the more polished up it is, the more it is accepted by 'critics'. you'll have to agree, it's 'nicer' or more 'enjoyable' to see a super attractive hourglass beauty dancing around, then seeing a man in jeans with a guitar crying about his lost romance....in the end, it'll come to what's more entertaining and thus this is what we end up with.

i'll take pink floyd, u2, etc. anytime over 'stripclub' music that's standard nowadays, though there are still enough new hits that are great. even these artists have done better.

but i'm getting off the point.....good to see our favourite ride in a vid.
I just hope this doesn't mean we'll be seeing a donk firebird in a MTV crib's edition anytime soon.....

nothing more sexy then a (hot) girl driving a muscle car, even better when it's such a sweet car as a t/a! wish my girlfriend had the guts to actually drive my firebird.....says she's scared of the car LOL.

Possibly that video was shot here in Australia....pretty big film industry based in Sydney, lots of blockbuster movies and music videos are shot here. I know plenty of guys with right hand drive Firebirds......
Lousy music, though....

This isn't a Firebird, but check out this Corvette that's coming up at Mecum.

Hey bossbird, when I got my Car Craft I wondered how do those girls look thirty years later?

That vette is cool and I hope it stay that way, I think the 60's and 70's custom were cool in there own way and is part of history. That custom trans am is way cool and I would love to rock that thing up and down the strip, I hope she is still painted like that sitting in some barn somewhere and will soon come out to play again, I have a whole bunch of old custom car mags with lots of T/A and vettes in them.

I've had my Formula for 20 years and it's always been cool... every single time I go somewhere in it someone compliments me -- all different ages, too.
