We need something from Jan and Dean. They had Drag City, Little Old Lady from Pasadena and the prophetic Dead Man ‘s Curve. Jan sustained a serious head injury when he crashed his Corvette near Dead Man’s Curve just 2 years after the song was a hit.
From The Little Old Lady:
“But parked in a rickety old garage
Is a brand new shiny red Super Stock Dodge”

Here is one for Meyers 7, out in the backseat of his '60 Chevy

This song always reminded me of an old girlfriend from days gone by.

Me too. Good points. Way up firm and high! It is as close to anthem for the "good old days" as there is.

Neil's love song to his car.

And of course I have to provide some Knopfler.
First, "The Car Was The One," which almost no one has heard of. A sweet little song.


And then, the much better known anthem to auto racing, Speedway at Nazareth
Speedway At Nazareth - Mark Knopfler at the Royal Albert Hall

I was at a concert on this tour and saw this song done just this way. It was breathtaking.

Forgot how much I like this song. Thanks for the reminder.

This song is so real I can smell it. I remember those days and those cars and those guys. One more thing, I got the pink slip daddy has to be one of the best lines I ever heard. Brian Wilson is a genius. Of course I hadn't heard a lot of lines back then, but it is still memorable!

"Long black limousine, shiniest car I've ever seen."





edited--Emmylou snuck in there doing background vocals, never a bad thing

That is a great song, and there is nothing in all the world that Emmylou doesn't make better.

“And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl, yeah
I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the world”

I think I've heard the story that this song came into existence during a drive from Boston to upstate New York to visit a boyfriend at the time by the lead vocalist. A bit melancholy, but lovely.

I'm still sticking with my premise that most songs about cars by men really are about cars, and most songs about cars by women are really about relationships.

You have been provided a wide range of material from which to draw your conclusions re your hypothesis

...Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
'Till you find your dream...

(Yes, I just did that)
