Cool cars and Rock&Roll
A combination that has endured since the 50's!
The guys from the Express drive like they play-
loud,fast,and outta control!
We thought we'd show you these cars just for fun!So many album covers and websites show groups posing with "prop" cars.The cars shown here are actually owned by the Uptown guys.
Just as we still use a live band,we have real cars. No canned music,No prop cars.Uptown is the real thing!
See more Hot Rods,Choppers,Rat Rods,and Custom Cruisers on our Cool Links page
 

We love playing at car shows!
