ZZ Top - Eliminator -1983
ZZ Top frontman Billy F. Gibbons had a 1933
Ford restored into what became known as the Eliminator coupe. A painting of the coupe, by
Tom Hunnicut, was featured on the cover of
ZZ Top's multiplatinum album Eliminator.
The 'hot rod' became a legend by appearing in
several rock music videos (MTV). Each video
featured a Cinderella-story vignette in which an
earnest but unfairly downtrodden teen is swept
away and 'saved' by the arrival of beautiful girls
in the Eliminator.
