Chevrolet Celebrity music video – Click above to watch video after the jump

We’ve got to wonder what it is about crappy cars that inspire acts of musical tribute. It seems like every time we turn around, the internets are serving up another heaping helping of clever lyrics and catchy beats to commemorate some heap that most people would just as soon forget. It wasn’t until just recently that we were able to pry the snappy licks of the V-O-L-V-O music video from our gray matter. Now it seems that the mechanical muse has struck in the form of a faux-wood paneled Chevrolet Celebrity wagon.

While the video after the jump lacks the wit of the Volvo 240 wagon ode, it makes up for its shortcomings with some of the staples of the music video arsenal – a bit of exposed female anatomy and ranting about “The Man.” Hit the jump to watch the clip for yourself, just be warned, the images might possibly be NSFW depending on how strict your cubicle overlords are. Thanks for the tip, Matthew!

Pan’s Labyrinth 1936 Rolls-Royce Phantom III by Inskip – Click above for high-res image gallery

Few auction houses have dealt with as many celebrity automobiles as Bonhams, and the upcoming event at Brooklands is poised to carry on the tradition.

Among the lots up for grabs during the auction at Mercedes-Benz World will be this unique Rolls-Royce Phantom III. The first of 24 Phantom IIIs sold to the United States, this particular 1936 example – a five-seat limousine with custom Inskip coachwork and 7.3-liter V12 – was used in the bizarre fantasy film Pan’s Labyrinth in the chase scene against a Bentley.

Also crossing the auction block at the event on December 6th will be a 1934 Lagonda M45 Tourer once owned by Nick Mason (of Pink Floyd fame) and a Mercedes-Benz 600 formerly owned by Elvis Presley. Other highlights include a ’64 Maserati, a ’55 Mercedes Gullwing, a 2000 Ferrari 550 GTZ and a ’64 AC Cobra. Follow the jump for the full press release and check out the trio of Rolls-Royce photos in the gallery below.
