Steve, Terry, et al ?
There are at least two places that you can listen to Car music on the Internet that I know of. One is on the Brass-Nickel Touring Region web page and the other is the Junior AACA web page. Both have a section called Car Tunes. There are currently about 80 songs running on both. Some have been suggested here.
I am in the process of re-doing both sections. I started with the Brass-Nickel so it is the most current. I am having problems with a couple of songs so they might sound like the Chipmunks recorded them. Sorry about that but I am trying to fix that problem.
1. To access the songs on the Brass-Nickel page, go to the section named Car Tunes. There are actually two separate pages. The first is from 1900-1940s. The second is from 1950 and up. The songs can be listened to one by one by clicking on the audio player (does require Flash to be installed in order to work properly). Or, if you prefer, you can listen to a jukebox as background music while you surf the web. (Caution here ? a pop up will have to open if you want to use to the background option).
Steve - I believe about 80% of what is on the first Car Tunes page is in the public domain. Of course, that depends on exactly which definition of public domain you are following.
2. To access the songs on the Junior AACA page, go to the section called Stop, Look, and Listen. This is the multi-media section. Besides music, this section has automobile radio commercials from 1926 up, videos (some excellent early footage), and television spots.
Like I said, I am currently working on the above pages ? editing and adding new stuff - so everything might not work just right ? just yet!
Enjoy!
PS ? If you want to listen to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and My Mother the Car themes, stop by the Stars Cars section on the Junior page. Also featured is the Batmobile, the Munster cars, the General Lee, and Herbie.

 Wow, do I feel stupid! Forgot all about the Junior page! I just found out that a major player in our hobby has also plans of having car tunes on their site in a whole new way. More to come in the future. Thanks Judy!

Dave - would be interested in swapping lists and possibly duplicates. Please email if you share the interest.

To All: Dave Moon has probably solved my mystery, in that I heard of a song in 1954-55 that I had thought was called Buick49. Obviously it must have been Buick59.....I just can't figure out why they named it that in 1954. It wasn't until late 1954 that I really started to become aware of R&B, jitterbugging and DooWop songs. Still remember the name of the first 45 RPM record I bought at the time....calle "Ling Ting Tong".

Dynaflash8 You know everybody is doing a search on "Ling Ting Tong" not to mention the Five Keys or The Charms. Very powerfull lyrics, now I need to find the music and put the whole thing together. This is great,hearing about these old tunes.
Wait till kathi finds out I'm going to start collecting 45's and old sheet music. Need to build another stall!

"Ling, Ting, Tong" (1955) by the Charms, Deluxe Records #6076, worth $50 in near mint condition.
"Ling, Ting, Tong" (1954) by the Five Keys, Capitol Records #F-2945, worth $40 in near mint condition.
The Five Keys' version is available on Rhino Records' The Doo Wop Box Volume 2 (disc 1, track 15).

Wow, who can I sell it to for $40? Though I doubt mine is in "mint condition" I think I still have it in my box of old 45s at the Florida place. I definitely still do have "Mary Lou" by Young Jesse. Heck we could start a whole new thread....I need a new copy of "Adorable" by the Turbins and "It's Obdacious" on Decca because my kids ruined those to years ago and they skip. 
I like the idea of the "Juke Box" Steve....that's a great idea.

I'd have to agree with you Earl. Alan Jackson is very recognizable, and would be a good choice because the song is about a '49 Mercury (old car) and it is a modern song.

Earl,
Brass-Nickel is currently running a Car Tunes jukebox now with about 80 songs.
It is set up to shuffle the songs in a random order. But you can set it to play chronologically if you prefer. It will take a few minutes to load and shuffle that many songs. But once it's loaded, you can play it while you surf the Net.
Go to Brass-Nickel web page and then click on CarTunes. To open the jukebox, click on the big red HERE.
That's all there is to it. Enjoy!

yeah, you're right ... but I like that song....
"Mercury Blues" as sung by Ry Cooder, Steve Miller, Alan Jackson's country-ish version, and who knows how many others have recorded it.

Thought you might want to know I just loaded Mercury Blues by Alan Jackson into the Junior AACA jukebox.
Enjoy!

Oh! I forgot to ask - can any one name some car songs from the 1930s, 1940s or 1980s? Thanks in advance.

). It's considered to be one of the great pioneering doo-wop cuts. It was re-released in 1959 (for obvious marketing reasons), and was one of those very rare songs (maybe 5 total, outside of Christmas tunes, like Nights in White Satin) that broke into the top 40 pop charts twice in differing years!
