Everyone knows that celebrities prefer to stand out from the crowd. Therefore, many of them have their own luxury homes, beautiful car fleets with fabulous prices and much more that an ordinary person can only dream about.
But, all this public luxury disappears when it comes to something truly "precious" for the heart and soul. And that men, and even rock musicians, can be more expensive than a four-wheeled friend, under the hood of which several hundreds of horses are obediently waiting !? We picked up 23 famous rock singers who have their own views on how a presentable celebrity car should look. And believe me, pathos, excessive luxury and stuff - not about them! Classics, ladies and gentlemen! One solid classic!
1. Pete Townsend and his Mercedes S 600 Pullman
Pete Townsend is a British rock singer, composer and author of almost all The Who songs. To buy the car of your dreams, Pete saved up for 5 years.

2. Freddie Mercury and Studebaker Champion 1950
