Rapid City Muscle Car is the second studio album by the American band Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released in 1994 on indie label Space Age Bachelor Pad.
Rapid City Muscle Car is arguably the Daddies' most musically eclectic work. According to band, they directly intended each track on the album to be the direct opposite of the last, with the lyrics being the main focus. In addition to the standard swing and funk rock influences, the album touches upon hard rock, punk rock, rockabilly, ska punk, country, and lounge music.
The album had two covers: the first featured bassist Dan Schmid walking a chicken, while the second (and most common) featured artwork from longtime Daddies friend Wayne Shellabarger.
