You decide!.Johnny Bond also charted with it he made it to No. Barry from Sauquoit, NyWhen Charlie Ryan re-released this song in 1960 his back-up group were The Timberline Riders and it peaked at No.When I first heard Commander Cody's version.my first thought was."who the hell is that?" Unfortunatly as the years went by.the oldies station seem to always play the Cody version.I guess the program directors were too young to know the difference. For me, the REAL version was done by Johnny Bond in 1960. Jeff from Ontario, CaI never did care for the remake of "Hot Rod" link, by Commander Cody.Michael from Mcfarland, WiTiny Hill also had charting hits with this classic tune, and a response record "Hot Rod Race #2".But still, it can't be the first, since Hot Rod Lincoln is really just a remake of "Hot Rod Race", done with different words. Wayne from Midvale, UtAs someone has done here, Hot Rod Lincoln is often referred to as the first ever rap song.Esskayess from Dallas, TxJim Varney did a great cover of this in 1993 for the end credits of the "Beverly Hillbillies" movie.(Charlie Ryan's sequel, "Side-car Cycle" was good too) Rich from Portsmouth, NhLincolns were never hotrods! (big,heavy,luxurious) If you strip one down.Well, actually you could say that they all are COOL. As a personal preference, I like Bond's version. Now don't get me wrong-Commander Cody's version is very cool. That was mostly in the South and West Coast back in the early 50s, then it spread. But then, New Hampshire was never "hot rod" country anyway. We had many of those in my family & a few hot rod Lincolns as well. I agree with you about the first hot rods being Lincolns & favorites of the bootleggers. Then later on, I dug the Commander Cody version, but for me, it was the Johnny Bond version that was really cool. Rocky from Fort Smith, ArI remember the Charlie Ryan version, but also recall the Johnny Bond version was more popular in my area when growing up in 1960.What a cool cool song! But - I'm babbling on. Ahhh, I still love Lincolns - even the latest ones. So it seems the song is actually about either a 30s or 40s Lincoln. Then the early Fifties Lincolns were famous for their engines that won many international endurance races. Of course the Sixties Lincolns were so huge and super luxurious, but the song wasn't about them. As a classic car nut, I know what those old Lincolns look like. ![]() I always thought the Lincoln they referred to was a Sixties model, but one of our teachers said it was from the Forties. ![]() I loved hearing the song on the radio & it was on quite a lot. I was a mere tot in those days & my older brother had the single & album. Wow!
