Happy 93rd Birthday to my dad Alfred Haunold. Pictured here in 1956, shortly after coming to America from Austria, with just $20 in his pocket. He won this car, a 1948 Plymouth, from a Lincoln, NE government auction for $226.50! He went on to become a world renowned hop geneticist, saving the US brewing industry and introducing the world to high alpha flavorful hops still used in brewing today.

Happy Birthday to the original influencer, Rodney Bingenheimer (aka Rodney on the Rock). Pictures here with his rock n roll 1967 GTO. If it wasn’t for Rodney, none of us would know if David Bowie, Blondie, The Ramones, Joan Jett and dozens of other then unknown artists. We here at Gearhead had the privilege of working with Rodney on several projects, including a behind the scenes look at all the bands whose butts have been in his famous car (read the interview in issue 20) and a Christmas record, Santa’s Got a GTO vol. 2 (Ltd Ed press of 500 on red vinyl). So next time you sing along to the Ramones, the Go-Gos, Joan Jett or other bands, you can thank this fellow for discovering them and making them part of our musical world. Wishing you another year of rock n roll and the happiest of birthdays Rodney! To celebrate head over to Gearheadhq.com now until Dec. 2020 and enter code RodneyRocks to get 20% off at checkout on all items in the Gearhead store!
Gearhead shines the light in that murky underground space where hot rods and punk rock collide. Like a fiery mass burning bright, the allure of being part of a culture only a very few are allowed into is intoxicating. The common thread is those individuals who are always pushing the boundaries, looking for something different, something unique that the masses have no inkling of. Climb in, belt up and get ready for the ride. It is in pursuing what others can’t even dream of that we truly experience the thrill of a creative life.
Sexy as hell —Thanks ! #32
Hey ho daddy-o! Norm Grabowski’s original roadster hotrod as seen in the epic 1957 Life Magazine article that introduced the world to this underground phenomenon. Dig it baby!
So proud of these women! You work hard and do your best but in this male dominated industry it can be frustrating sometimes that all that gets seen is you are a girl. And all you wanna do is focus on what you love ! As a woman owned business we here at salute the hard work, dedication and focus of and for shining bright and strong as a symbol for us all! Way to rock it girls!
Wishing good luck to team Paretta Autosport led by Beth Paretta with Simona de Silvestro in the driver seat during bump day at Indy on Sunday! https://www.npr.org/2021/05/21/999087718/a-team-of-mostly-women-races-to-make-history-at-the-indianapolis-500
Over the years, only nine women have driven in the marquee event. But this year, one of 35 teams competing to qualify — including the driver, owner and crew — is made up mostly of women.
It was one year ago today that this beautiful talented woman passed away. A day doesn’t go by that we don’t think of you and miss your fun sassy self. So proud to have had you as our Ms GEARHEAD 2016
Raise your glasses to my beautiful mama. It has been one month since she died and I am just shattered. I miss her every day, and am so grateful for the 87 years she graced this earth with her beautiful smile, charm and silliness. She embraced the unusual and the different people that populated this world and she was kind and open to everyone. She taught me the meaning of having a moral compass, of standing up and speaking out for those who had no voice. She was the original DIYer, raised during the depression when you made everything yourself. God forbid you had to go to the store to buy it! If you did she taught me to make sure it was quality and worth every penny you paid for it because that penny equaled blood sweat and tears. I was raised to be kind and generous and to always give others the benefit of the doubt and every single thing she taught me colors the way I run Gearhead. You get quality and value for your money because it was how I was raised. It is a gift and a legacy and I will honor her spirit, her grace and her unique take on life with every order I pack and every product I release. She called me her Wildflower— she got me as few people ever have. I have always marched to the beat of my own drummer. My husband gets me and my mom adored my husband because he too marches to the beat of his own drummer. I would not have stuck with running Gearhead for the last 20 years if it were not for the love and support of these two incredible people. If you have people like this in your life your are rich beyond measure. Make sure to tell them every day how much you love and appreciate them because one day they will be gone. I love you mom, and I will carry on because I have to. I love you Bill, you are my rock. Love always Michelle
Cannot wait for this documentary about punk rock legend Joey Sh****ad from DOA! Just a few days left on their Kickstarter fundraiser!
A documentary film about the legendary punk band D.O.A. and frontman Joe Keithley's shocking political victory.
Named Kookie’s Kar after appearing in “77 Sunset Strip” the legendary ‘31 Ford Model A built by Norm Grabowski went through many iterations before this photo in 2018, courtesy of Mecum Auctions. With its candy-red flames racing across the Rose-pearl body paint, dual super chargers, dual slicks and “Zoomie” exhaust pipes, this t-bucket marvel set the standard for “Live Fast, Be Weird” DIY Kustomizing.
Wanderlust: the ability to go where you want, when you want. When nothing stops you from following that deep gut-nagging urge to see what is around the next bend.
Walking down memory lane sometimes means you stick your head in the trash and discovery pure gold. Found a handful of these records during inventory! Ltd Ed pressing 500 copies each. Head over to Gearhead hq.com/shop to snag a pair today. Get a free poster to boot 😉

LIFE: 1957 The hotrodding craze was hitting the mainstream.
Bored teenagers and returning servicemen looking to amp up their lives created a subculture that permeates our current culture. LIFE: 2020 Let me get raw and personal (this is Michelle btw): I am resurfacing from a deep dark depression. Almost a year of death, loss and grief has left me void of the creative juice that usually fuels my daily routine. It seems mundane, even negligent to try to focus on going about life as if everything was ok. But maybe that is exactly the point: maybe we need to focus on things that entertain or soothe or engage us. Maybe it is exactly these actions that keep us moving forward, driving for something better, something healing and uniting. I don’t have the answer but I am trying to find my way through this so for the next few days or weeks, I AM going to share projects, products and images that inspire and excite me. Hopefully it will jumpstart my creative juices again. Be safe and love those around you. Keep the volume up and the rubber on the road, Love Michelle
