History
Da Yoopers released "Rusty Chevrolet" in late 1986 following their first album Yoopanese. Band members Jim DeCaire and Joe Potila wrote and produced the song. It was issued as a single with "Smeltin' USA" on the B-side, and later appeared on the band's second album Culture Shock. At the time of its release, the band sold copies of the single for two dollars, with half of that amount being donated to the local Salvation Army. After its release, the song became popular on stations in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and in Wisconsin, with WIFC of Wausau, Wisconsin alone ordering over 200 copies due to listener demand.

The band later used profits from the song to build their own recording studio in their hometown of Ishpeming, Michigan.

"Rusty Chevrolet" is about a man's struggles with his old Chevrolet car, and its lyrics are set to the melody of the Christmas song "Jingle Bells".
