Stumbling across this highly amusing clip of the great Woody Guthrie, we were amazed at how perrenial the car fetish is.
The great bard of the American dustbowl knew a bit about the road – and his little ditty in homage to car culture is absolutely quaint – and absolutely indicative of the power of the idea of the open road is.
I mean, if Woody could sing about it, then it’s all right by us.
But when you think of the 100 odd years that exists between th advent of Ford’s Model T and the latest Golf R – it’s amazing how much has changed –
and how much has stayed the same.
