Rock shapeshifter Neil Young uses a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria as his wayback machine in Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme's new film, "Neil Young: Journeys."

The singer and filmmaker document a road trip from Young's hometown of Omemee, Ontario to a performance at Toronto's historic Massey Hall.

"[The Crown Vic] is the same age, within ten years, as I am, so traveling in this vehicle seemed to make sense," Young told FOX411.com in a sit-down interview along with Demme in New York City. "I love old cars. I always ride around in old cars. That's the way I like to live."

Following behind his brother Bob on a driving tour of Omemee and its environs, Young tells Demme stories of his youth, recounting what sounded like an idyllic childhood set in the Canadian countryside.

"I loved seeing the brothers trudge around out there, through whatever that crackly vegetation is out there," Demme told FOX411.com of a scene where Neil and Bob survey land that used to be their back yard.
