A Lincoln Project we can all get behind

*under construction by my pal @Plowfink. 2 more Lincoln Projects happening in Austin

For everybody replying "gonna drive me to drinkin' " here's the genuine article, owned & built by Charlie Ryan who wrote and recorded Hot Rod Lincoln in 1955

*fun fact: the Hot Rod Lincoln wasn't a Lincoln at all, it was a Ford Model A with a Lincoln V12 motor ("that Model A body makes it look like a pup"). In the original Charlie Ryan version "It's got 12 cylinders, uses them all" but Commander Cody reduced it to 8

**also, Hot Rod Lincoln was an answer song to Hot Rod Race by Arkie Shibley and the Mountain Dew Boys (1950), probably the first hot rod song. They had their own follow up songs Hot Rod Race No. 2 and Hot Rod Race No. 3

This will all be on the mid-term
