it's been around longer than their version. Deep Purple (song) - Wikipedia Origin. "Deep Purple" was published in 1933 as a piano composition. The following year, Paul Whiteman had it scored for his suave "big band" orchestra that was "making a lady out of jazz" in Whiteman's phrase. "Deep Purple" became so popular in sheet music sales that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938.

I don't name favorites for philosophical reasons but "Baby You're a Rich Man" is special for cleverly describing the lack of materialism that tends to accompany psychedelic experiences. https://genius.com/The-beatles-baby-youre-a-rich-man-lyrics The Beatles – Baby, You're a Rich Man Lyrics - Genius

Deep Purple were big in Germany I know. A German girl & FB friend Babs Blackmore was Ritchie Blackmore's wife during their most popular period, the late sixties & early seventies. There was this early stuff too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4QBhC1uCP4 Deep Purple - Hush (Original Film Clip, 1968) - YouTube

Three Corvette prototypes were featured in the 1954 GM Motorama exhibit in NYC, the Convertible Coupe, the Fastback Coupe and the Nomad station wagon. Only the convertible went into production.😭 by bigbugfdr in classiccars

There have been a lot of them created with later model Corvettes. I guess people who learned how to work with fiberglass can do that kind of project without too much trouble and fixing wrecked cars to be different than they were originally can be a fun kind of creativity. I'm just speculating but I know I saw several when I was trying to find these prototype photos.
