Description: Sparks (formerly Halfnelson) is an American pop and rock duo formed by brothers Ron (keyboards) and Russell Mael (vocals) in Los Angeles. Known for their quirky approach to songwriting, Sparks' music is often accompanied by sophisticated and acerbic lyrics, often about women or Shakespearean literature references, and an idiosyncratic, theatrical stage presence, typified in the contrast between Russell's animated, hyperactive frontman antics and Ron's deadpan scowling. They are also noted for Russell Mael's distinctive wide-ranging voice and Ron Mael's intricate and rhythmic keyboard playing style. They have been much more successful in Europe than in their native US, though they maintain a loyal cult following in the States.
Description: Founded in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1975, Choo Choo Customs started out by creating luxurious van conversions with high-end interior and exterior options that made other rolling room builds look second rate. Eventually, the company began customizing full size pickups with all the upgrades from their vans, plus extended cabs that otherwise wren't available from the factory. At the request of the manufacturer, Choo Choo Customs began building El Camino SS conversions in 1983 and ran with them until the El Camino left production in 1987. America entered a recession in 1990 and van conversion companies were hit hard, so Choo Choo Customs went bankrupt in 1991, leaving a legacy of amazing custom vehicles that are still sought by collectors.
