Inspiring models: This pink Cadillac model at London’s Hamleys toy store was expected to be one of the top ten Christmas choices in 2013.

Cars personified as women, women personified as cars, power, wealth, road trips, just driving – many are the themes that people have written and sung about in songs that mention cars and their various brands. A young Bob Dylan sang of his Buick 6 as a woman in this 1965 blues number, while Prince’s Little Red Corvette is about a woman who “love 'em and leave 'em fast” and tells her “You need to find a love that's gonna last”. Then there’s Bruce Springsteen’s Pink Cadillac , his second song to mention the brand. It came after Cadillac Ranch. Mustang Sally , which stemmed from a drummer in singer Della Reese’s team who wanted a Mustang instead of the Lincoln she was planning to buy him, was recorded by Mack Rice in 1965. Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, is a defining song for hot rod fans in the 1950s.
