Richard Thompson - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

Ah, you beat me to it! Pretty sure he has another song about his MGB GT (she's a runner now).
Also, The Jam - Saturday's kids
Drive Cortinas, fur trimmed dashboard. Stains on the seat - in the back of course!

Wasn’t the Vincent Black Lightning a motorbike? - sorry just checked it says vehicles so I guess a motorbike is a vehicle!

Great song nevertheless

Auberge by Chris Rea has the sound of (I think) his Lotus 7 starting up at the start.

You’re Not a Number was about his Lotus 7 if I recall from when he talked about the album when it was released back in 1991!

Terraplane Blues, Robert Johnson.

Maybe one of the earliest?

"What a Victory, What a Triumph", hymn from the 17th century beats that.

"Reconnez Cherie" by Wreckless Eric (1978)

"Do you remember all these nights in my Zodiac?"

[67Dino]

Does Suzi Quattro count?

Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry

It's Too Late to Worry - Jo Dee Messina

“Billy Joe had a bumper sticker on the back of his beat up Chevrolet
Said, 'This truck eats Fords for lunch'
So I pulled up beside him my new Mustang
I was just getting ready to say boy that trucks seen it's last meal
But I was wanting to climb in that Chevy
When I saw what was sitting behind that wheel”

Cruise - Florida Georgia Line

“This brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell lot better with you up in it”

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle

“Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound”

Life’s Been Good
Joe Walsh

My Maserati does 185
I lost my licence, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

Also for the lines:

I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door

Truck On Tyke - T Rex

[stepaway]

Faithless ‘She’s My Baby’

Who got the keys to my RS
As we goin' on a road test, hit the M4 and head west
Forever impressed with the sound of my two liter
We cover ground, engine singin' like Anita Baker
And if I take a corner too quick you get sick

[stepaway]

Public Enemy - ‘Your Gonna Get Yours’

Cruisin' down the boulevard
I'm treated like some superstar
You know the time so don't look hard
(Get with it, the ultimate homeboy car!)
All you suckers in the other ride
Whenever I'm comin' get to my side
My '98 is tough to chase

[stepaway]

Baxter Dury - Miami

I'm the night chef
The eye doctor
Mister Maserati
I'm king of the migraines
Soiled Lord of Tears
I'm the urban goose
I'm a river of dead fish
I'm Miami

[SpudLink]

Sorry about this, but...
