Rolling Silver Dollar Collection

Of course I wonder what dates / mint marks they are!

You'd have to ask Kid Rock who owns the car today and featured it on his album cover.

I think I see a polished 93-S right under the butt of that 45 Long Colt above the glovebox.

Nice car, looks like a 62. I have a 62 catalina ragtop which is just a shorter version of a bonne. It also has the same interior color. No western theme or silver dollars, however, but maybe I should do a tribute, as the coin, car, and roy rogers aspects of the car all appeal to me as a fan of the sons of the pioneers music.



OR maybe I can just throw a junk silver dollar in the glove box and call it good!

Roy Rogers is a good example of how all glory is fleeting. When I was a kid in the early 1950's Roy Rogers was a very, very popular TV show. My room had Roy Rogers drapes and a Roy Rogers bedspread. Roy and Dale opened a museum in, I believe, Victorville, California and it was a popular site while Roy and Dale were still living. I understand they often gave the guided tours themselves. When Roy and Dale passed away the museum continued for some years but Roy's style of Western had long since gone very, very much out of style and out of favor. His once popular singing with the Sons of the Pioneers also faded in popularity. I seem to recall that the museum was moved to Branson, Mo but eventually closed. All of the contents were auctioned, the car shown in this post included. In another twenty to twenty-five years or so Roy may very well be little remembered as is the case with most entertainers once their fans pass from the scene.

I'm guessing you don't...but I do. I think it's cool.

Aptly stated, 291 fifth. What you said is really sad---but true. [sigh]
