“Hot Rod Lincoln" is a song by American singer-songwriter Charlie Ryan first released in 1955 through Souvenir Records under the artist name Charley Ryan and the Livingston Bros.  Ryan based the description of the car on his own hot rod, built from a 1948 12-cylinder Lincoln chassis shortened two feet, with a 1930 Ford Model A body fitted to it.Â

I was very familiar with and looking for the Commander Cody version but went with the original when I stumbled upon it.
