There have only been three that were hits. * Charlie Ryan (the original) * Johnny Bond * Commander Cody *** Charlie's is too "country" for my tastes. In fact, it reached #14 on the Country singles chart. {{ https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=charlie+ryan+hot+rod+lincoln&ru=%2fvideos%2fsearch%3fq%3dhot%2520rod%2520lincoln%2520charlie%2520ryan%26qs%3dn%26form%3dQBVR%26%3d%2525eManage%2520Your%2520Search%2520History%2525E%26sp%3d-1%26pq%3dhot%2520rod%2520lincoln%2520charlie%2520ryan%26sc%3d6-28%26sk%3d%26cvid%3d9E459F6BBB864F09927D5B513A323187&view=detail&mid=F12138458526AA26154BF12138458526AA26154B&&FORM=VDRVRV }} *** Johnny's is also too "country" for me, though it also has a little of the 50s rock sound in it {{ https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=hot+rod+lincoln+charlie+bond&&view=detail&mid=33B34248EB5831007D0A33B34248EB5831007D0A&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dhot%2520rod%2520lincoln%2520charlie%2520bond%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVDMH%26%3D%2525eManage%2520Your%2520Search%2520History%2525E%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3Dhot%2520rod%2520lincoln%2520charlie%2520bond%26sc%3D1-28%26sk%3D%26cvid%3D483B147CAF2E4CD4A0F18020059AD3D0 }} *** So for me Commander Cody's is the best. That gravelly voice is perfect, and the sound is much more rock and not so much country. The quick, loud beat - which increases throughout the song - is also reminiscent of an engine that is accelerating. Just all-around a well-put-together rendition. {{ https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=hot+rod+lincoln&&view=detail&mid=768F172F190B0F959AD4768F172F190B0F959AD4&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dhot%2520rod%2520lincoln%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVDMH%26%3D%2525eManage%2520Your%2520Search%2520History%2525E%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3Dhot%2520rod%2520lincoln%26sc%3D8-15%26sk%3D%26cvid%3D58440F89D305471EB89DF4757CB1713E }}

Commander Cody is the only one I can really make it from start to finish without reaching for the dial. LOL
