About my design

by andyg   
I'd like to think that had Abe Lincoln lived to see the automobile age, he would have driven like a bat out out of hell!



This design was inspired by an old rockabilly song of the same title (which had nothing to do with our 16th President.) I based the design of Lincoln on the classic Ratfink illustrations by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.



Take a closer look at my design with this link:

Goodness Gracious !!! this is Rockin' me so hard



and I love the song too :



HOT ROD LINCOLN



My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'

If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln"



Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race

When Fords and Lincolns was settin' the pace?

That story is true, I'm here to say

I was drivin' that Model A



It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up

That Model A body makes it look like a pup

It's got eight cylinders, uses them all

It's got overdrive, just won't stall



With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust

With 4.11 gears you can really get lost

It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared

The brakes are good, tires fair



Pulled out of San Pedro late one night

The moon and the stars was shinin' bright

We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill

Passing cars like they was standing still



All of a sudden in a wink of an eye

A Cadillac sedan passed us by

I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me"

By then the tail light was all you could see



Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind

So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind

Took my foot off the gas and man alive

I shoved it on down into overdrive



Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten

My speedometer said that I hit top end

My foot was glued like lead to the floor

That's all there is and there ain't no more



Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense

And telephone poles looked like a picket fence

They said, "Slow down! I see spots!

The lines on the road just look like dots"



Took a corner, sideswiped a truck

Crossed my fingers just for luck

My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts

The guy beside me was white as a ghost



Smoke was comin' from out of the back

When I started to gain on that Cadillac

Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass

Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas



We had flames comin' from out of the side

Feel the tension, man, what a ride!

I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"

And that Caddy pulled over and let us by



Now all of a sudden she started to knockin'

And down in the dips she started to rockin'

I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinkin'

The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln



They arrested me and they put me in jail

And called my pappy to throw my bail

And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'

If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln!"

Le Coma,

There's not a joke involved. It's a creative play on a song's title

(Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet

Airmen) in an amazing visual style ("Monster Hot Rod" style)

that was popularized by an awesome artist (Ed Roth).

Yeah, Tim Roth is a great actor, from Rob Roy to Resevior Dogs and apparently a fantastic designer as well! Oh, ed roth? Well, im sure he's a good actor too.



This design also reminds me a bit of ladrones printed one...im surprised no one has mentioned that yet. And this also reminds me of very cool t-shirts.
