I bought this 45 rpm record in 1971, in a Circle K store in Tucson AZ. It was the 1st record I had ever bought, I was 9 years old. At that time Circle K had a big kiosk up front with ALL the weeks top 40 hits. I, being 9, didn"t care about any of those, but the title: "Hot Rod Lincoln". Caught my eye! BEST BUY, I ever made!

"Hot Rod Lincoln" was a huge hit when I was in high school. Especially since I lived in Michigan and Commander Cody was a Michigan band. It wasn't until decades later I found out it was a 1950s song that they covered. Not realizing the history, we never understood how a Lincoln, huge four door sedans at the time, could be a hot rod.

I remember it well as a child of the '50s and '60s, this song was a precursor to the great hot car songs of the early mid '60s... Before Ford and Chevy really kicked off the horsepower race in '55/'56, the most impressive muscle motors were the early '50s OHV V8s of Lincoln, Caddy, and Olds. Big, back in that day, was around 300 cu.inches, my dad had a '53 Olds 98 with the 303 "Rocket V8" engine, which at the time was hot sh!t compared to the average flathead six... Great memories of a very special time... Cheers
