andys120, thanks for the reply, but I will tell you that Chicago 7 (1974) featured the Beach Boys singing backing vocals on: "Wishing You Were Here" , and "I've Been Searching So Long".......For the record, The Beach Boys toured with Chicago in 1975 , as I saw them (close) in Houston , Texas ( 1975), also back stage!!! with the Beach Boys opening , Chicago 2nd act, and then both of them together closing........OK, I missed the figure, BUT, I named the fact that he was a pop/rock star, he worked with Chicago in the middle 70's, I saw him perform, and no one else (apparently) even knew he was a pop/rock star.............I welcome more music/car photos.........let's do this again!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like an early MG Midget, ca. early-mid 60s

The MG is a 1964-66 Midget...because it says "1098 [cc] Mk II" on the license plate. Also, the wind-up windows give it away as a later Midget. It's definitely pre-1970 because of the flat rear wheel cutouts.

You are good Hudson, that's a 1965 Midget. I never even spotted the plate, which is a custom, not a real plate. I'd thought that they went to the 1275 cc motor in the MkII.
 
Now if I could just figure how he gets away with not running a real front plate. The car is from the Albany NY area (NY requires 2 plates).

Agree on the front plate issue....Texas is another state where the law says a front plate is also necessary, but some people just seem to get away with it.....

only twice, I am ashamed to admit........once back in1973, and once just last year in Houston.......they quit touring after their "Pretzel Logic" tour, where they claimed they lost money, lost their equipment roadies to girls and drugs along the tour, and both Becker and Fagen disavowed touring in 1974. As a matter of fact , they even dissolved their band and just "hired out" session musicians for each album from 1974-1982. They would hire a particular musician for a certain sound on a certain track , they were studio wizards, those two..............They reunited in 2003-2004 for their "Two Against Nature" CD , followed by 2006's "Everything Must Go."
 
You should check out their website, they are quite the literary bards........

Looks like a Korean Daewoo with a Pontiac snout...........maybe this is Pontiac's version of Chevrolet's Aveo subcompact.............I'm guessing new, 2008 ? Hardly surprising, considering the rapid decline of SUV sales ...........
