One of my all time favorites, I can’t drive 55 by Sammy Hagar


Another favorite

This one is more for the very heavy metal minded people like @cigroller and myself
 lol

Warning, this is NOT your 50’s music

OK, thanks to Mr. Google I now know that NRPS stands for ( New Riders of the Purple Sage ) which is a band I have never heard of .

Too many car songs to choose from, even Tim Allen’s Tim Taylor character had problems.

Satellite by Guster.

@VOLVO-V70 is obviously too young to remember NRPS, popular in the 1970s.

Many years ago, my favorite was this ditty by Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen:

I will answer it like an engineer
 It depends!

Kenny Loggins Danger Zone when it is time for track. I Can’t Drive 55 is also a good companion.

Steve Winwood’s version of Can’t Find My Way Home when settling back for a long ride.

Kashmir by Led Zepplin after a coffee stop on a long drive.

Suzuki had a radio advertisement in 1966 that was so popular rock stations got requests to play it. Can not find a copy.
How about a Moped Song? Though illustrators used a
Lambretta type scooter

A constant complaint from owners of Lincolns with the V-12 was that they overheated and/or suffered from vapor lock very often. I assume that the hotrodder(s) who souped them up installed a bigger radiator or a higher-capacity water pump.

No Particular Place to Go

As an aside, my high schooler son came home from work Sat night around 10:00 just long enough to change clothes and go out again. He said a couple of guys were going to pick him up and they were just going to drive around for a while. I told him there was a name for that. He said “Really?” I said “Yeah, it’s called cruising.”

It would be nice to have the lyrics included on some of these. Now I was just a little tike but you could understand when Dina shore sang see the USA in your Chevrolet. At least I think that was her name.

There was an “h” at the end of her first name, and if you skip to about 1:10, you can hear her singing that song.

If we’re going to talk about old car commercial songs, my favorite was the one that DeSoto used in the mid-late '50s. I used to hear it each week while watching You Bet Your Life, with Groucho Marx.

Made me look it up! 51-55 was the Dinah Shore Show, 15 minutes. In 56 became the Dinah Shore Chevy Show and longer time slot. One show Pat Boone joined her singing the Chevy advertisement jingle.

I follow a Flathead group (all flatheads) overheating still seems to plague some Ford flatheads.

Take it to the Limit is good.
