{{Short description|Song performed by Charlie Ryan}}
"'''Hot Rod Lincoln'''" was recorded in 1955 as an [[answer song]] to "[[Hot Rod Race]]", a 1951 hit for [[Arkie Shibley]] and his Mountain Dew Boys. Hot Rod Race tells the story of a late-model Ford and Mercury who end up racing along the highway, neither driver gaining an advantage, and staying "neck and neck" until they are both overtaken (to their amazement) by a kid in "a hopped-up Model A".

"'''Hot Rod Lincoln'''" is a song by American singer-songwriter [[Charlie Ryan]], first released in 1955. It was written as an [[answer song]] to [[Arkie Shibley]]'s 1950 hit "[[Hot Rod Race]]" (US #29).
"Hot Rod Lincoln" was written by [[Charlie Ryan]], who had also recorded a version of "[[Hot Rod Race]]". It begins with a direct reference to Shibley's earlier ballad, stating "You heard the story of the hot rod race that fatal day, when the Ford and the Mercury went out to play. Well, this is the inside story and I'm here to say, I'm the kid that was a-drivin' that Model A."


It describes a drive north on [[U.S. Route 99 in California|US Route 99]] (predecessor to [[Interstate 5]]) from [[San Pedro, Los Angeles]], and over "[[Grapevine, California|Grapevine Hill]]" which soon becomes a [[hot rod]] race that ends with serious consequences.
Ryan owned a real hot rod that was built from a 1948 [[Lincoln-Zephyr V12 engine|12-cylinder Lincoln]] chassis shortened two feet and with a 1930 [[Ford Model A (1927–1931)|Ford Model A]] body fitted to it. Thus the song explains how in "Hot Rod Race" a kid in a Model A could have outrun late-model Ford and Mercury sedans. Ryan actually raced his hot rod against a Cadillac sedan driven by a friend in [[Lewiston, Idaho]], driving up the Spiral Highway (former [[U.S. Route 95 in Idaho|U.S. 95]]) to the top of Lewiston Hill. His song, however, keeps the same location as "[[Hot Rod Race]]", namely Grapevine Hill, which is an old-time local southern California nickname for the long, nearly straight grade up Grapevine Canyon to [[Tejon Pass]], near the town of [[Gorman, California]], between [[Los Angeles]] and [[Bakersfield, California|Bakersfield]].


==Song details==
The first release of "Hot Rod Lincoln", in 1955, was recorded by writer Ryan as Charley Ryan and The Livingston Brothers.<ref>[http://www.45cat.com/record/souv101 Souvenir SOUV-101]</ref> Ryan's 1959 version, on 4 Star, as Charlie Ryan and The Timberline Riders,<ref>[http://www.45cat.com/record/1733x45 4 Star 1733x45]</ref> is probably better known.
The car race is described between two [[hot rod]] cars, the narrator's [[Ford Model A (1927–1931)|Ford Model A]] (with a Lincoln motor) and a Cadillac. The song says the Ford's "got [[V12 engine|12 cylinders]]", [[overdrive (mechanics)|overdrive]], a four-barrel [[carburetor]], 4.11:1 [[gear ratio]], and safety [[Tire#Inner tube|tube]]s. The narrator ends up being arrested by the police for his high-speed driving and describes the exasperation of his father: "He said, 'Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' / If you don't quit drivin' that hot rod Lincoln!'"


Ryan's original [[rockabilly]] version of the song was released in 1955 through Souvenir Records under the artist name Charley Ryan and the Livingston Bros.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.45cat.com/record/souv101|title=Charley Ryan And The Livingston Bros. - Hot Rod Lincoln|access-date=29 April 2021|website=45cat.com}}</ref> A second version was released in 1959 through [[Four Star Records]], credited to Charlie Ryan and the Timberline Riders.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.45cat.com/record/1733x45|title=Charlie Ryan And The Timberline Riders - Hot Rod Lincoln|access-date=29 April 2021|website=45cat.com}}</ref> Ryan based the description of the [[eponym]]ous 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.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}} Ryan raced his hot rod against a [[Cadillac de Ville series|Cadillac sedan]] driven by a friend in [[Lewiston, Idaho]], driving up the Spiral Highway (former [[U.S. Route 95 in Idaho]]) to the top of [[Lewiston Hill]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Johnson|first=David|date=June 27, 2003|title=That hot rod Lincoln|language=en|newspaper=[[Lewiston Morning Tribune]]|url=https://lmtribune.com/a_and_e/that-hot-rod-lincoln/article_30ca8687-372b-5e16-954d-27c9b2252071.html|access-date=2020-12-11}}</ref> Some say he incorporated elements from this race in his lyrics to "Hot Rod Lincoln", but changed the setting to Grapevine Hill (a long, nearly straight grade up to [[Tejon Pass]], near the town of [[Gorman, California]]) to fit it within the narrative of "Hot Rod Race".{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}
The 1960 version by [[Johnny Bond]] was a hit for [[Republic Records]]. Bond's Lincoln has eight cylinders ("and uses them all"), rather than the 12 cylinders pulling Ryan's Model A.


==Johnny Bond version==
The 1972 release by [[Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen]] went to #9 on the [[Billboard charts]] and #7 in Canada. Cody's version opens with the spoken lines, "My Pappy said: Son, you're going to drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln." Cody's version also uses a slightly different guitar riff at the beginning, and adopts parts of Johnny Bond's version, including the reference to eight cylinders.
Another version of "Hot Rod Lincoln" was recorded by [[country music|country]] musician [[Johnny Bond]] and released in 1960 through [[Republic Records]], with Bond's lyrics changing the hot rod's engine from a [[V12 engine|V12]] to a [[V8 engine|V8]]{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}, among other changes.

''Hot Rod Lincoln'' and ''Hot Rod Race'' are defining [[anthem]]s of the [[hot rod]] community.
A 1971 version, by [[country rock]] band [[Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen]] on their album ''[[Lost in the Ozone]]'', became the most successful version of "Hot Rod Lincoln", reaching No. 9 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, No. 28 Adult Contemporary, No. 7 in Canada,<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/films-videos-sound-recordings/rpm/Pages/image.aspx?Image=nlc008388.7717&URLjpg=http%3a%2f%2fwww.collectionscanada.gc.ca%2fobj%2f028020%2ff4%2fnlc008388.7717.gif&Ecopy=nlc008388.7717|title=Item Display - RPM - Library and Archives Canada |website=Collectionscanada.gc.ca |date=1972-06-03 |access-date=2021-04-12}}</ref> and was ranked No. 69 on the U.S. [[Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1972|''Billboard'' Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1972]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.musicoutfitters.com/topsongs/1972.htm |title=Top 100 Hits of 1972/Top 100 Songs of 1972 |access-date=2016-09-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170427223218/http://musicoutfitters.com/topsongs/1972.htm |archive-date=2017-04-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The song peaked at number 45 in Australia.<ref name=aus>{{cite book|last=Kent|first=David|author-link=David Kent (historian)|title=Australian Chart Book 1970–1992|edition=illustrated|publisher=Australian Chart Book|location=St Ives, N.S.W.|year=1993|isbn=0-646-11917-6|page=18}}</ref> This version maintained most of the lyrical changes from Johnny Bond's version but changed them further while maintaining the original story.

"Hot Rod Lincoln" is a song by American singer-songwriter Charlie Ryan, first released in 1955. It was written as an answer song to Arkie Shibley's 1950 hit "Hot Rod Race" (US #29).

It describes a drive north on US Route 99 (predecessor to Interstate 5) from San Pedro, Los Angeles, and over "Grapevine Hill" which soon becomes a hot rod race that ends with serious consequences.

Song details

[edit]

The car race is described between two hot rod cars, the narrator's Ford Model A (with a Lincoln motor) and a Cadillac. The song says the Ford's "got 12 cylinders", overdrive, a four-barrel carburetor, 4.11:1 gear ratio, and safety tubes. The narrator ends up being arrested by the police for his high-speed driving and describes the exasperation of his father: "He said, 'Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' / If you don't quit drivin' that hot rod Lincoln!'"

Ryan's original rockabilly version of the song was released in 1955 through Souvenir Records under the artist name Charley Ryan and the Livingston Bros.[1] A second version was released in 1959 through Four Star Records, credited to Charlie Ryan and the Timberline Riders.[2] Ryan based the description of the eponymous 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.[citation needed] Ryan raced his hot rod against a Cadillac sedan driven by a friend in Lewiston, Idaho, driving up the Spiral Highway (former U.S. Route 95 in Idaho) to the top of Lewiston Hill.[3] Some say he incorporated elements from this race in his lyrics to "Hot Rod Lincoln", but changed the setting to Grapevine Hill (a long, nearly straight grade up to Tejon Pass, near the town of Gorman, California) to fit it within the narrative of "Hot Rod Race".[citation needed]

Johnny Bond version

[edit]

Another version of "Hot Rod Lincoln" was recorded by country musician Johnny Bond and released in 1960 through Republic Records, with Bond's lyrics changing the hot rod's engine from a V12 to a V8[citation needed], among other changes. It reached number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1960.[4] Bond released a sequel in the same year called "X-15", set in 1997, about an air race in an X-15 plane.[5]

Commander Cody version

[edit]

A 1971 version, by country rock band Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen on their album Lost in the Ozone, became the most successful version of "Hot Rod Lincoln", reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 28 Adult Contemporary, No. 7 in Canada,[6] and was ranked No. 69 on the U.S. Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1972.[7] The song peaked at number 45 in Australia.[8] This version maintained most of the lyrical changes from Johnny Bond's version but changed them further while maintaining the original story.
