Looks pretty darned  nice....At first glance it could be mistaken as a  Model A.

I remember the song.  Nice to see the car that inspired it.  Thanks for posting.

This is from Wikipedia:

Ryan owned a real hot rod that was built from a 1948 12-cylinder Lincoln chassis shortened two feet and with a 1930 Ford Model A body fitted to it. Thus the song explains how in "Hot Rod Race" a kid in a Model A could have outrun late-model Ford and Mercury sedans.

The one in the song is a V8. I remember seeing a yellow Model A with a Lincoln OHV V8 that claimed to be the one the song was written about but I guess the guy who wrote the song would know.

"It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
That a Model A body makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders and uses 'em all
Got overdrive, just won't stall"
