One car song i can't see in the lists, although i may have just missed it, is 57 Chevrolet. Another i thought of was by Mary Wells in the 60's, i think she had a thing for trucks, My Guy!
Had i better get my coat? |

Continuing the cars theme - it was The Avons, in 1959. It was a cover of Paul Evans & the Curls' version, who had a hit in the U.S.A.

Had this mail from Mike, who owns the Epstein Wood & Pickett.
Aloha Jens,
Brydor motors came from Bryan Epstein and Terry Dorran.
Terry was a School friend of Brians who was set up to sell cars to all of the acts Brian managed
and probably their friends as well.
He was immortalized in the Beatles own words as “ the man from the motor trade” in Lennon’s Beatles song “She’s leaving home”.
Regards
Mike
