The Victor Colantoni Photographs of the Cars consist of 13 3" x 5" images of the band performing in an unidentified club. There are eight black-and-white and five color photographs, all taken from the audience's perspective. The date on the photographs is September 1978, but this may refer to date they were printed, rather than the date they were taken. There are negatives for seven of the photographs, as well as other unidentified negatives (several of which appear to be backstage at an outdoor concert).
Victor Colantoni worked for Gene Norris Oldsmobile, a Cleveland car dealer, and on occasion for Belkin Productions as a driver for bands that were in town.
The Cars are an American new wave band that signed with Elektra Records in 1977. The following year they released their debut album, which hit #18 on the Billboard charts. They released five more albums before their break up in 1988, and briefly reunited in 2010-2011.
