disconovaman Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The model car club that I'm a member of (ACME) are always trying to come up with interesting club challenges. We always try to pick themes that are broad. I thought it would be a good theme to build a model from a song. It doesn't have to be a song specificlly about a car but if the lyrics mention a car then build your interpretation of that car or truck. Example: "It's a girl my lord in a FLAT BED FORD slowin down to take a look at me". I wanted to get some opinions on the idea. Good or Bad? Any song you can think of with the mention of a car or truck would be helpful. Thanks for any help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'm pretty sure we did this topic here not that long ago. Run a search and see if you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 This has been done before, though still a good idea. Too bad the search doesn't work too well here.Want Ideas, start off with a bunch of Beach Boy tunes? Little Deuce Coup, 409, maybe some Jan & Dean, Drag City, Dead Mans Curve. A Google search will certainly yield much, "Car Songs". https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=car songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Haigwood Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Do a search for "Car Song Builds" . Lots of stuff on a thread titled "Car Song Builds" (site:modelcarsmag.com car song builds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Not really a specific car but definitely paints a vivid picture. David Wilcox - Rusty Old American Dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The Downriver club did this theme last year.Leave it to me to come up with a stumper(heh heh).I built a stock AMT '29 Model A roadster.Nobody guessed the name of the song(not even a guy who's in the Model A Restorer's club).(It's "Henry Made a Lady Out Of Lizzie") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick GMC Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 there's a huge thread on this already from last year i believe. Try searching, it should come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Cohen Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 We did a club theme about car songs about 35 years ago and came up with over 200 songs! How many models will you build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
