Bruce Springsteen Collection 197



We might run out of fingers if we were to count the number of classic cars Bruce Springsteen houses inside his garage. One of his classic cars, the Chevy Impala Convertible, was gifted to him by R&B singer Gary Bonds. Apart from the Impala Convertible, Springsteen also owns other classic gems such as Chevrolet Corvette C1 Convertible (1960), Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (1963), Ford XL Convertible (1969), Ford F100 Pick-Up Truck (1970), Chevrolet Z28 Camaro (1982), and more. However, one that stands out from his classic car collection is the Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. Despite writing many songs about cars, Springsteen was yet to own his own wheels back in the '70s. However, following the success of his third album, Born To Run, the singer-songwriter shelled out a whopping $2,000 and bought himself a baby-blue Chevy Bel Air Convertible. In his recent, best-selling memoir, Springsteen writes: "In '70s New Jersey, the car was still a powerful image. That summer, I bought my first set of wheels. It was a '57 Chevy with dual, four-barrel carbs, a Hurst on the floor, and orange flames spread across the hood." The "orange flames spread across the hood" that Springsteen is referring to was the customized look Springsteen had given to his Bel Air Convertible. The Chevy Bel Air Convertible's design was undeniably beautiful. It was a cherished classic that stands tall among the most good-looking cars of all time. The interiors were posh, comfy, and super spacious. The steering wheel boasted a full-chrome horn ring. Powered by a robust engine, the Bel Air was a beacon of efficient performance and smooth acceleration. It boasted a "0 to 60 miles per hour time" of 12.9 seconds. The Bel Air is considered by many to be "an icon of its age; right alongside Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and Leave it to Beaver," and is among the most recognizable American cars of all time. Though Springsteen and his Bel Air's romance lasted just for a year, it was a romance well worthy of a Netflix original.


Limited double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. Includes digital download. Greatest Hits is Bruce Springsteen's first compilation album, released February 27, 1995, on Columbia Records. It is a collection of some of Springsteen's hit singles and popular album tracks through the years along with four new songs at the end, mostly recorded with the E Street Band in 1995. The latter constituted Springsteen's first (albeit very partial) release with his backing band since the late 1980s. Some of the songs are shorter versions of the original album releases. The incorporation of the "new" tracks was portrayed in the 1996 documentary Blood Brothers. "Murder Incorporated" and "This Hard Land" were, in fact, unused 1982 songs from the Born in the U.S.A. sessions, with the latter being re-recorded here more than a decade later, and both subsequently became Springsteen concert staples. The compilation was commercially successful, hitting the peaks of the U.S. album chart and UK Album Chart and selling more than four million copies in the U.S.
