An intrepid crew of CREEMsters traveled deep into the wilds of the Appalachian mountain range to bring in the story of hillbilly Robert Plant and his new car. "Actually, it's not a car," explains Plant, who was named for the lush vegetation surrounding his family's mountaintop homestead. "It's really a pick-up truck." And a darn good one at that, Bobby. This '48 Chevy pick-up sports a three-speed transmission, a six cylinder engine, and to top it off, the thing works! "Only problem is... I done run out of gas," complains Robert. Not an insoluble problem, of course. And when fully-gassed, what does the colorful shaggy-haired hillbilly use his truck for? "I use it to carry around my license plates!" Quick, get this boy to a rock 'n' roll band!
