The Mercury Cougar-Rama Muscle Car ‘Splosion could win you Neko Case’s car!
This is pretty sweet – I think if I won it I’d have to figure out how to get it into my apartment which might involve some sort of crane, and removing all the walls, and maybe getting rid of my furniture to make room, and maybe reinforcing the floor… but wouldn’t it be cool to come over to my house and eat dinner in Neko’s car?
About the raffle:
Neko has given 826 National the keys to the ultra-cool, stunningly beautiful 1967 Mercury Cougar pictured on the cover of her Grammy-nominated album Middle Cyclone, and you could be the lucky one who ends up behind the wheel! Enter today and you could drive off with not just Neko’s beloved ’67 Mercury Cougar, but a slew of other awesome prizes including:
- • An Epiphone PR-5E acoustic/electric guitar signed by members of the Speaking Clock Revue including Elton John, Elvis Costello, Dr. Ralph Stanley, Leon Russell, and T Bone Burnett
- • Neko’s very own 1966 Gretsch “Silver Duke” Guitar signed by Michael Stipe (REM), Black Thought, Jimmy Fallon, John Wesley Harding, T Bone Burnett, Britt Daniel (Spoon), and many more
- • A Carr amplifier with a Rambler extension cabinet
