We all know Leo Fender was both hard working and frugal. What automobiles did he own and drive? If you have photos to post, even better.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Pretty sure he had a Mustang, a Stingray and Jaguar!

Just kidding. I have no idea. Of course after 1964 he could have any car he wanted.

I just have visions of Leo driving a staid black 1950 Ford four door sedan with a flathead V-8 and 'three-on-the-tree'. Or maybe a Chevy or Studebaker or Hudson. Perhaps an Army surplus Jeep he bought for $5. :)

I'll bet Leo Fender was a bit like Enzo Ferrari. Too many things floating around the brain to worry about driving a fancy car through traffic. Enzo spent most of his years in the passenger seat of a Fiat. Though several Ferrari's were set aside over the years for his personal use, he rarely drove them.
