Most songs about roads and cars were from America probably because they were more into cars than us.

You've started something now. It has been estimated well over a thousand songs have been written with Cadillac in the the lyrics,in excess of ten thousand recordings of those songs have been made. The most sung about Cadillac model is the Coupe de Ville. A few to go on with
Maybelline, Chuck Berry
Nadine, Chuck Berry
Git it, Gene Vincent
Teenage Heaven, Eddie Cochran
Two out of Three Aint Bad, Meat Loaf.
Heavens in the Backseat of My Cadillac, Hot Chocolate
One of the Earliest car songs was In My Merry Oldsmobile, about 1904.
Lots of Ford V8 songs such as Ford V8 Blues

I'd better stop before you all get bored

well here is one, where the whole song is about the car .

It was the theme song for a Danish cult TV series called Sonny Souffle Chok Show.

It was about a Father & his son, who runs a old gas station, the wealthy Tannhueser concern wants to buy, in order to tear it down.

Theme song, about the Brother,s Volvo = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhsBU-qyqDE

The tekst goes like this = Black windows & plastic visor, from 0 to 60 in 1st gear, spoiler spoils, we stop, while we drive around in the Blue skies -
(chorus) violent Volvo, on hot & wide tyres, violent Volvo, thanks for tonight, and fast getaway.

The rest of the lyrics talk about 12 wide wheels, tripple Weber carb and all kind of other funny stuff.

I attended a car show in 1988, where the car was on display.

A episode = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jCHNCpLAc8

Lots of old interesting cars & mopeds to be seen, incl Ford F100, Skoda convertible, etc

anorak info about the giutarist = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Cross
