This might be fun! Post pictures of Rick instruments with cars that match, complement, or contrast. I'll start this off with my rare Sea Green 4003 shot next to a VW Karmann Ghia I found. The color is nearly identical. The owner was kind enough to wait while I posed the two together. Let's see what you've got!

How about a "BRT" (Big Red Truck) with an "RBY" (Ruby 360/12 WB)?

No longer my guitar but I believe it is still in the "Forum Family".

Love the VW and the sea green 4003, Paul. They were made for each other. Image

Wonder how my JG/WT 4001 would have contrasted with my white-over-black '72 240Z... wish I took that pic!!!

I've been waiting for the opportunity to use these shots. The guitars involved are a '94 360-12V64 and a '75 4000.

The car is a 2001 GM Holden SS (a variant was exported back to the US under the Pontiac banner). The engine was a Corvette 350 V8. I miss this car Image

That 360v64 12 would have made a nice pair with the V64 6 string you have Howard, would've it!

Paul's "Mink" bass is very close to my F-150.

While not as dramatic as some here is my submission. My '05 Blackened Laredo (excellent work by Paul BTW.....above and beyond expectations) next to my '87 Buick Grand National. I got the car last year with 17K on the odometer and since then it has been "mildly" transformed into quite a beast mechanically but it remains stock outside (except for the pimp tint).

I think they make a nice couple.......

Yes, Ron..... a definite opportunity missed. However, I'm more than happy with the 350/12v63. Image

Actually, Richard, a DCM is close to that color I think.
