Here's a few more:
"He'd have to get out and get under" ("to fix-up his automo-bile") (c. 1910)
"Gasoline Gus and his jitney bus"
"Ray and his little Chevrolet"
"Henry's made a lady out of Lizzie" ( 1927 ?)
"Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile" (pre-WW I )
"It's de-lightful, it's de-lovely, it's De Soto" (adaptation of Cole Porter's "De-lovely" ; De Soto theme from the 1950's)
Steve, if you're seeking more titles than we can dredge up, try visiting the Lester Levy Sheet Music Library, on-line. This collection was donated to Johns-Hopkins, and contains thousands of titles from the mid-20th century back to the 18th century.
They have an excellent on-line search feature, and in most cases, you can download scans of music that is in the public domain... (but beware, there's some stuff in there that would be considered "politically incorrect" these days; for those who are sensitive...)
Plan to spend several hours there...

Peter, I don't think thats quite what Steve is looking for. LOL
Although you are probably correct in stating most of us have had one at some point! Carl
Steve, How about some beach music like....409 or Little old lady from Pasadena?

How about "Rocket 88" by Jackie Bernston. First released on Chess 113 in 1950, re-released in 1951 on Chess 1958, and again re-released in 1984 on Chess 91012.
I have a listing of roughly 1500 car records if you are interested; however, other than "In My Merry Oldsmobile", this seems to be the only one Olds related.

Steve-I've got over 200 pieces of auto sheet music in my collection and could send you the titles separately, but I suspect from your last post you are interested in real music you can attach to the website right?
If its real music you need, the California Antique Phonograph Society sells a CD with auto songs including the following:
Reuben Haskins rides a cyclone auto (1903)
I think I oughtn't auto anymore (1907)
On the back seat of the old Henry Ford (1916)
Gasoline Gus and his Jitney Bus (1915)
The little ford Rambled Right Along (1914)
In My Merry Oldsmobile (1905)
O'Brien's Automobile (1908)
Keep Away from the fellow who owns an automobile (1912)
Uncle Josh on an automobile (1903)
Ray and his little Chevrolet (1923)
Cohen phones about his auto (1922)
Since Henry Ford apologized to me (1927)
Henry Made a Lady out of Lizzie (1928)
Poor Lizzie, What'll become of you now (1928)
I'm Wild about horns on an automobile (1928)
That brand new model of mine (1928)
You might also want to contact Bill Truesdell at Management Advantage Inc in Walnut Creek, Ca. Bill has produced a video tape with auto songs and sheet music images that he sells on behalf of the Diablo Model A club Inc. You can reach Bill at www.hrwebstore.com
There have been a couple of record albums published over the years that also contain auto songs but I don't know how easily obtainable they are or if they might be available on tape or CD. Some research would be required.
Most of the music has been recorded from original records or even early cylinder records so it often lacks quality, but it does have character!
