Ron Howard, with his 1970 Volkswagen Bug. Howard purchased the car new in 1970 at age 16—it was his first car. He drove the VW until (around) 1976 when he got rid of it. A few years ago, Howard’s brother-in-law found it in Redding, California–where Howard has a lot of relatives. The person that had it was using it to deliver eggs–and it still had Ron Howard’s college sticker on it. Howard’s brother-in-law repurchased it for him. He replaced the engine and shipped it back to Howard. Today Howard drives it regularly and says it is the only car he has ever loved. He credits his father for giving him the common sense as a teenager with money– and buying a Volkswagen as opposed to something like a Corvette

The Traveling Wilburys were a British-American supergroup active from 1988 to 1991, featuring Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty. Formed during sessions for Harrison’s 1987 album, they created the hit “Handle with Care,” leading to their debut album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, a critical and commercial success. Following Orbison’s death, they released Vol. 3 in 1990. Though Harrison planned more albums, the group became dormant after 1991. Harrison died in 2001 and Petty in 2017, leaving Dylan and Lynne as the surviving members. Their albums were reissued in 2007.
