Songs that you are sure had a car mentioned but now realise that you mis-heard the lyric.
Sister's of Mercy. Detonation Boulevard.
"...I've a brother of sorts in a Ford Granada..."
No Granada but it does have a Cadillac Eldorado.
"...On Detonation Boulevard...
I got wrecked out here
In a Eldorado
I got wired, white-walled
This hot-wired sedan
I caught something weird in Encenada
I've a brother of sorts in Torquemada
Long distance information
Disconnect me if you can..."

Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood
Rat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Toy Dolls - Davids XR2
"David Man, yer hav'n't finished yer tea"
"It doesn't matter, I can't wait to drive my XR2"
"Oh David, don't drive fast David"
"See ya!"

Marc Cohn - Silver Thunderbird
Watched it comin' up Winslow, down south park boulevard
Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood
Great big fins and painted steel
Man it looked just like the batmobile
With my old man behind the wheel
Well you could hardly even see him
In all of that chrome
The man with the plan and the pocket comb
But every night it carried him home
And I could hear him sayin'
Don't you gimme no buick
Son you must take my word
If there's a God in Heaven
He's got a silver thunderbird
You can keep your El Dorados
And the foreign car's absurd
Me I wanna go down
In a silver thunderbird
etc

Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else
My car's out front and it's all mine
Just a forty-one Ford, not a fifty-nine...
Rush - Red Barchetta
I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime...
Bruce Springsteen - Racing In The Street
I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
My car's out front and it's all mine
Just a forty-one Ford, not a fifty-nine...

That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
