"I bought a car off a couple of ladies way upstate / Took of the Greenpeace sticker and the New Hampshire plates."

If you want to win me over, get yourself a Rover.

Even in a Honda, you look like Peter Fonda.

Let's go siesta in your Ford Fiesta.

No mention of make/model regarding the truck/pickup but does reference a specific car in the lyrics: "You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill, But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille"

Trying to stay within the caveat in the OP, was trying to get creative but realized both these songs make no mention of what kind of big rig so they don't exactly qualify but still are pretty good songs about trucking. Anyone thing of more that maybe specifically mentions something like a brand of a truck in the lyrics (Mack, Kenworth, Peterbuilt, etc?)

Alabama - "Roll On (18 Wheeler)"
Kathy Mattea "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses"

CONVOY!!

I love trucker "CB Talk"

Well we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy

I think Mean Dean may disqualify this but he should appreciate that it is the name of a model from Plymouth, I give you:



This one is even before my time,

I know the roadrunner song. Lots of BritInv groups covered that one.
And I was waiting to see if anyone would post "In My Merrie Oldsmobile." I know that is one of the first "car" songs ever.

Only a passing reference, but I want to include it --- not a common car model to name-drop in a song, what I can recall.

"You scream and you holler, 'bout my Chevy Impala"

Potential for a trivia Q : In the rock 'n' roll era & genre, who has the most car-related song lyrics: Chuck Berry or The Beach Boys? I don't know the answer, but it'd be fun-fun-fun bar trivia.

Speaking of trivia/inventory, is Cadillac the most common automobile referenced in song lyrics (at least since maybe the 1940s)?
