Cars in song

[disconovaman]

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..

I'm pretty sure we did this topic here not that long ago. Run a search and see if you can find it.

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

Do a search for "Car Song Builds" . Lots of stuff on a thread titled "Car Song Builds"    (site:modelcarsmag.com car song builds)

Not really a specific car but definitely paints a vivid picture.

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")

there's a huge thread on this already from last year i believe. Try searching, it should come up

Cool Guys thanks for the information! Tesla invented it but Edison got the credit.... is that how it went? Some one would've figured it out eventually...

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
