Neil Young's Watercolors of Classic Cars

In cars and in music, Neil Young has never been afraid to try something new. He learned to paint watercolors to go along with his new memoir, Special Deluxe: A Memoir of Life & Cars and didn't let his colourblindness get in his way.

1930 Rolls-Royce Shooting Brake ‘Wembley’
After finishing a tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Young bought himself to a
1930 Rolls-Royce Shooting Brake. It soon after broke down in Belgium.
At the same time, Young writes, his relationship with actress Carrie Snodgrass was
 breaking down as well.

1959 Lincoln Continental Mark V
Young’s love for classic cars and the environment came together with his 1959 Lincoln
Continental Mark V Convertible. In 2008, Young assembled a team to convert the 6,200-pound
car to run on electricity and biofuels. ​

1951 Willys Jeepster
Young would drive through the Santa Cruz redwood forests in his 1951 Willys Jeepster.
He bought it in Santa Ana in 1968 for $750. Despite the “raggedy” convertible top and
 “funky” gear-shift linkage, Young immediately knew he wanted it.
