Folks Of Interest Conway Twitty's Riviera

I had a book years ago with pictures of Conway's Rivi. Does anyone have any photos? I did Google search and did find this, pretty cool.

 

That's Leonard Nemoy. Conway had a proper rockabilly pompadore.

 

Who needs the Enterprise when you have a Rivi!!

 

I know it's Leonard, I found that when I did the search. I just thought it was cool seeing Mr. Spock with a Rivi.

 

Conway had a Golden Hawk. A Stude club member in Arkansas has it now.

 

Bah! That's not a real Riviera. It's just a dang holodeck image!

 

That fits. Conway isn't his first name--but, while driving through CONWAY County AR during the 50's(?), he took a liking to the name over his.

Conway County is by Yell county, just below Petit Jean Mountain.


Your geography and history lesson for today, now class is dismissed for burnouts.

 

......and Twitty wasn't his last name. That came from Twitty, Texas

So, if I understand correctly, you're 'In Search Of...' pics of Conway Twitty's rivi... right?

 

Yep, we Arkansans are kinda proud of Harold Jenkins. I should point out that he actually took his name from the city of Conway, Ar, not the county- missed it by about 2 miles . ( I verified this through his website). As he was one of my favorite country singers, I'd love to see pics of some of his cars.

 

Only on the HAMB can we combine sixties startrek and sixties country music-- no where else!!!!!!!!! ..Now can someone do a good Twitty youtube to balance this out?

 

Conway Twitty was a big 50's Rockabilly star...before the bad hair & suits of the 60's...

 

Harold Lloyd Jenkins........AKA Conway Twitty

 

Never heard of him.

 

,did he and leonard do a duet.oh wait that was lorretta.

 

He's traditional. (G)
Larry T

 

That's not really his hair either. It is a helmet, a hair helmet.

 

Looks like a '63 or '64 vette to the left. Mmmmmm?

 

Hell........Spocks ears match the body lines of the front fenders on the Rivi....

 

breezed right past 'em..... must have been way before their time

 

Conway started of in rock & roll before he went county

 

Hello Darlin' My names Harold Lloyd Jenkins. Nope, just doesn't have the same ring to it.

 

Conway and his wife drove AMC Pacers. No kidding. Guess it made him less conspicuous when out and about. Once when I was a kid, we were at Twitty City and he left his house in his. Drove by the nice garden he had there for visitors, and waved/said hello to us. The ladies were all agog. This was during the 'Slow Hand' period.

 

I love when Family Guy breaks away to a whole Conway Twitty song !

 

dude spock rolls straight gangsta! and now Conway twitty...

 

I dont know how true it is, but Ive always heard he got his stage name from Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas.

Oops, thats already been said...I need to wear my new glasses when reading posts! LOL

 

I know he had a 2 seat T-bird as I seen it sell at an auction in Dallas in the early 80's!...that and my mom meet him and took a picture w/him, at some point...

 

Harold Lloyd Jenkins and the Twitty Birds doesn't work either..lol

 

I went to Twitty City....it was shitty.
