Depends what you mean by "best"...... here are a couple that I would secretly turn up the volume on if they were playing on the radio.....
Driver 67 - Car 67
Renaissance - Northern Lights I have this on my iPod!
Possibly not just one-hit wonders, but a great song anyway.....
Sniff n the Tears - Driver's Seat

As John Lennon once said "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me,". Too true and he was The Walrus..... I could be The Walrus, it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't have a car.Mystic Slippers said:

What are we calling a hit here.

Sputnik had at least one other hit with 21st Century Boy and I'm confident Michelle Shocked never troubled the chart......ever.
