DonW Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 what? no "Tell Laura I Love Her". whippersnappers ....... as they pulled his body from the burning wreck with his dying breath they heard him say... Tell Laura I love her It's not very cheerful, but it is a true great to my distorted mind. I'd go for 'Maybelline', and of the 3 on offer, well I'm with John Milner!
DonW Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Yeah, how great my touchy-feely old Prius is at letting me stay connected with all my unemployable little friends who can't make change from a dollar, and who don't have a clue how to fix it when "it won't go, mommy"... Strangely, I never thought of you as a Prius man, Bill!

southpier Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 mighty gto = Ronny & the Daytonas although there really was no "Ronny"
DonW Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) HEMI PRIUS - is that a Hemibrid? But I'm not fooled - anyone can stick a Prius badge on the back of their 'Cuda! Back to the topic - c'mon everybody make your mark for the Duece! Edited September 5, 2014 by DonW
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Back to the topic - c'mon everybody make your mark for the Duece! Yes, as they say, "vote early and vote often".

If we're getting into burning wrecks, I'm nominating Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell." Come to think of it, "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" might be a hot rod song. Hey, he never says it's not a hot rod, does he?
Jon Haigwood Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Hot Rod Lincoln was written about a specific car as described in the song. In the case of Little Deuce Coupe it was written and then a car was found that suited the song for a album cover. In the song the Deuce Coupe there was little to actually describe the car, being only that it was a Deuce Coupe with a flathead mill (actually it was a OHV V8) and a 4 speed stick (actually it was an automatic) Love both cars and both songs but I am still going with HRL They are both on my list of future projects along with the original version of Tweedy Pie with the Flatty Edited September 5, 2014 by Jon Haigwood
Jon Haigwood Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 The there is always Jan & Deans "Schlock Rod" but it's not in the Poll Bucket T deserves a mention also
southpier Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 not to stray tooo far afield ... just finishing up "Driving With the Devil" by Neal Thompson. Roy Hall, bootlegger turned racecar driver in the early days of stock car racing was immortalized by Jim Croce in his song "Rapid Roy". good book, too.
kitbash1 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I kind of like Maybelline and Naydine as the quintessential Hot Rod songs.
unclescott58 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Oh come on! Hot Rod Race has only 3 votes? You've got be kidding. Would there even be a Hot Lincoln with Hot Rod Race? Scott
MsDano85gt Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I voted HRL love that song!!as well as many of the others forementioned from other memebers love some automobilia music to get the blood pumpin
Deathgoblin Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Manowar - Wheels of Fire White Wizzard - 40 Deuces Rob Zombie - Dragula I likes mine on the heavier side. Edited September 6, 2014 by Deathgoblin
Danno Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) The Beach Boys' Little Deuce Coupe was based on a real car too. IIRC, Brian Wilson wrote the lyrics after seeing the car on the cover of a magazine. The car on the cover of the Beach Boys album is the actual car, which was hunted down for a photo shoot after the song was written. That Little Deuce Coupe is still in existence, and I believe it is owned by the son of the guy who built it. The son loans it out for museums. Actually, not. Brian Wilson wrote the song with Roger Christian in 1963, inspired by a car Christian knew of from street cruising. "Little Deuce Coupe" was the "B" side of a single with "Surfer Girl" as the "A" side. "Little Deuce Coupe" was not expected to be a big hit, but when it went big, Capitol Records decided to do a 'car songs' album with "Little Deuce Coupe" as the title track. When Capitol Records was readying the "Little Deuce Coupe" album, they needed a dramatic cover photo, but nothing submitted to them by their cover artists excited them. One of the Capitol muckity-mucks saw the photo shoot from Hot Rod Magazine of Chili Catalano's coupe and obtained permission to crop & use one of the shots for the album cover.

ToyLvr Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 "Corvair Baby" by Paul Revere & the Raiders...
Dragfreak Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Not in the poll, but Fuel by Metallica is hands down my favorite, I suppose I'm a strange teenager by not being interested in "rap." Edited September 6, 2014 by Dragfreak
Snake45 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Any love here for Foreigner's "Headknocker" or "Rev on the Redline"?
landman Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I love all three but I have to go with Hot Rod Lincoln it was based on a real car (currently in a museum in Washington State). I am not sure which one had the most covers but would put my money Hot Rod Lincoln by Charlie Ryan The real Hot Rod Lincoln . Originally it was black but Charlie updated it a few years before he passed.
landman Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 About the one above. Again this forum won't show what I write after a quote. What I thought I had posted was this, "Are the makings of a Hot Rod Lincoln model available?" As far as the song go, I'm torn between Hot Rod Lincoln and Maybelline.
philo426 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I like 409!i bet the GM engineers got a real kick out of that song with specific mention of the design features of the SS Chevy'"4 speed Dual quad(Rochester Quadrajet)positraction 409"!
