I believe the earliest use of the phrase dates back to 1932 when it was used in the theme song for a cartoon/advertisement for Oldsmobile drawn by Max Fleischer and Co. (the same people who created Betty Boop). The advert is called "In My Merry Oldsmobile" and is available for free on the internet.
The word appears in the first phrase of the theme song
"Come away with me Lucille
In my great big automobile
Down the road of life we'll fly
Automo-bubbling you and I..."
I'm pretty sure the word itself is just a bit of poetic license employed by the song writers used to describe the sound of a running car.
Since "automobile-ing" isn't really a common word either, it makes onomatopoeic sense to replace the verb ending with bubbling to evoke the sound of a car engine revving.
Loud engine sounds would have been much more audible and familiar to audiences of the period in referencing automobiles. Most of the cars at the time had absolutely no safety features and were basically engines on wheels compared to the computerized and relatively silent things we drive today.
