According to the lyrics of his song "Hot Rod Lincoln", Commander Cody was driving a Ford Model A hot rod with a Lincoln V12 engine. However, this is not entirely accurate. The Model A was never offered with a Lincoln V12 engine, and the song's author, Charlie Ryan, has admitted that he took some liberties with the facts.
In reality, the Model A in the song is likely powered by a Lincoln-Zephyr V12 engine. This engine was a popular choice for hot rodders in the 1950s, and it would have been powerful enough to propel the Model A to the high speeds described in the song.
So, while Commander Cody's "Hot Rod Lincoln" is not entirely factual, it is still a great song about a classic hot rod.
